Kind of interesting to see her thesis unfold, but very uncomfortable film.
A great, great movie. If you can appreciate great characters and an awesome story check it out. If you don't like watching people be mean, get over yourself and check it out.
Though not everything in The Shape of Things has translated well from the play to the big screen, it's still entertaining enough to recommend.
This movie is slow moving and irritating at times but if you keep watching, you'll find the one thing that makes it worth it. Rachel Weisz. She is the only remotely interesting character - sorry Paul Rudd but this is the first time I found you annoying. If I had been able to buy ...( read more)

LaBute has that rarest of attributes, a distinctive voice. full review
[LaBute's] ideas on art and humanity will make you hoot, holler, curse the actors, damn LaBute and argue like hell with your date. What else do you want from a movie? full review
