There are seven people at this party. One's a politician. One's a self-styled life coach. One's a cynical bitch. One teaches women's studies, and one (her wife) is pregnant with triplets. One's doing way too much coke, and one's getting seriously drunk. Oh, and one of them's got a gun. A wickedly dark psychocomedy shot in hand-held black and white, with the actors - all of them - perfectly cast. The last shot's a kicker, and echoes "The Great Train Robbery", almost.
