As much as I love everything about Michelle Pfeiffer and her performance in French Exit is wonderful, the film itself is not.
The story is old and goes like this.... I am a rich socialite; therefore, I am eccentric/quirky and so is everyone in my life. We all know that is not how real life plays out and I am getting very tired of that storyline.
As mentioned all the characters are strange in one way or another. They don't seem to fit with each other or with Michelle's character. A very strange mishmash of people who do not fit together or even seem to like each other.....they all have some underlying story that does not go anywhere.
I got the impression that there is supposed to be some deep, dark meaning attached to this story. BUT I don't like playing guessing games and prefer everything is out in the open.
