Movie Description
Wagner's directorial debut, based on his novel, about the revolving lives of several Los Angeles residents, most notably a producer (Langella) who's lung cancer has kicked into high gear. His son's life is falling apart, as is his daughter's sanity and his marriage. Added to the mix are two characters who are dying of AIDS and a child who is killed. If you hadn't guessed, this is a film about death and dying, and how we come to terms with it, blindly or acceptingly.

Entertainment Weekly - pp.49-50 - Lisa Schwarzbaum
"...The cast is good, particularly Mr. Langella....The production is archly evocative....It does capture the black humor and mournful angst at the heart of the material..."
New York Times - p.E13 - Janet Maslin
"...Wagner gives his film a vivid ambience....The film is enlivened by sharp dialogue and a uniformly strong cast. Perkins gives a particularly memorable performance..."
Box Office - p.153 - Ed Scheid
