Trailer

Rating: B
Commentary: Four actors, three expressions each. It’s an interesting decision and although it won’t mean much to general audiences, it should give film enthusiasts an idea that the film is bound to be an acting treasure trove. The Andy Warhol-esque design work seems to accentuate the angst on display.
Rating: B+
Commentary: The ladies alone should draw any film lover worth his salt to the cineplex. These two look to be having the time of their lives and the men aren’t letting them get away with all the fun. From early on in the trailer, I had an amused grin on my face, which didn’t disappear until well after the trailer was over. That kind of attention shows someone still knows how to make an engaging trailer.

Oscar Chances: All four actors are key contenders for Oscars this year along with director Roman Polanski. Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet are stronger bets than Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly has the smallest shot of the four.
