She's too nice, and here again she's the nice one, all clotted aspiration and modest self-doubt.Īctually, the real treat in "Crush" is the villain, the horrendously wonderful Molly, played by Anna Chancellor in a Cruella De Vil high-bitch style. Well, I don't like Andie MacDowell, not really. Who couldn't like Andie MacDowell? Only a misanthrope. Who doesn't like Andie MacDowell? She's earnest, she's extremely likable, she's not one of those vacant beauties who seem to depend on flawless cheekbones as character recommendations. Writer-director John McKay's central figure is Kate, the headmistress of a proper British public school somewhere in the sticks that Kate is played by the obviously very American and even very Southern Andie MacDowell doesn't seem to matter.
#CRUSH ANDY MCDOWELL MOVIE#
Well, maybe it is, but the movie doesn't convince. It treats women like idiots: Their inner lives, it seems to argue, are so incoherent that sisterhood is more important than honesty, loyalty and love. It's about women, but as written and directed by a man, it appears to make no emotional sense at all. That's the curiosity named "Crush," which is one of the stranger items to come along in months. Then the three of them live happily ever after. So the friends try to destroy that one, too. Shattered (a tragedy is involved), the first woman becomes engaged to another man. Out of jealousy the two others destroy that relationship.
Then one of them falls passionately in love with a 25-year-old studpuppy. Three single female friends in their forties gather every Sunday to drink and smoke and grouse about worthless men.
