Jon, a first-time filmmaker, finds himself in Lansing, Michigan to present his film at a local film festival. Vince, his high school friend who is now a volunteer fireman and small-time drug dealer, also visits the town to support Jon on his big day, or so it seems. After a raucous hello and much backslapping, it appears that there is an undercurrent of tension in the air.

Linklater made a thriller! Dialogue heavy, one location, gripping social slow burn. Only downside is the poor cinematography, nothing major

A modernization of Hitchcock’s Rope. You should watch both.

One room, one scene, one conversation. Thought provoking, about how people think and talk about old sins, and how such sins may be addressed

The cinematography speaks for itself. The story is a bit confusing but all in all great acting and a good movie.

This movie is severely underrated. The acting and the dialogue are phenomenal. A little goes a long way.

Very dense and dramatic. The one set location creates a clostrophobic atmosphere

3 actors, 1 hotel room, 90 minutes, all the drama.

Low budget, claustrophobic, talky and interesting.

1 Room. 3 Friends. Full of secrets. Slow. Engaging. Realistic. Worth your time.

One location and three great performers taking on some pretty edgy material from early Linklater.
