some things can never be erased




9/10


I hadn't watched a little movie called TAPE(2001) in nearly five years and I was happy to see it again the other night. It is unlike any other movie out there. Starring Uma Thurman, Ethan Hawke and Robert Sean Leonard. Thats all. Just them. Three people. One setting. Twist after twist. The movie dives into parts of our psyche that we dare to enter. The secrets we keep and the denial that can haunt us forever. Three friends reunite ten years after graduating high school and some serious drama ensues. I know I know...what am I saying to you guys? This movie of all talk and one setting is good? Well, yes. See for yourself. Its funny, tragic, unpredictable and Uma Thurmans best performance ever. TAPE may be short and stagey at times but its unforgettable and has so many little hints in the script to further analysis that each time you watch it there is a new take on the whole situation.
