Drunks

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

Nice ensemble work about alcoholism, AA, and the people at one meeting. Features Richard Lewis, Faye Dunaway, Diane Weist, Spaulding Gray in a superb bit, Howard Rollins (tragically—he died of. alcohol and drugs), and a very nice supporting cast including Parker Posey. A bit stagey at times and Lewis sometimes overacts (it’s a screenplay from a stage play) but usually powerful. The only flaw in it is that everyone (except Rollins) looks too good even if they all are former or current drunks
