This Party features a killer cast and many funny scenes, but the movie feels like nothing more than an excuse for the actors to emote.

The best thing that one can say about The Anniversary Party is that it raises more questions about its central characters than it can possibly answer -- which may weaken it as a drama but not as a search for truth. Jun 25, 2001 | Rating: 3/4

The result is something like being stuck at an audition for someone else's play, which you haven't read, won't invest in, and don't care too much about. Jun 22, 2001 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

What distinguishes The Anniversary Party from the movies/lives that inspired it is the dead-on quality of much of the writing and acting. Jun 22, 2001

If digital looks like this and makes it possible for such funny and intimate chamber pieces to come into existence, then bring on the digital movies. Jun 22, 2001 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

...because Cumming and Leigh avoid most (though not all) of the easy choices common to first-time writers and directors, the movie stays on the right side of entertaining. Apr 5, 2006 | Full Review…

... it's fascinating to search for these characters' hearts under the layers of makeup, denial, disguise, excuses, fantasies, and ego. Dec 6, 2004 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Intenso e fascinante, o filme se apóia inteiramente no imenso talento de seu elenco e é recompensado com atuações absolutamente irretocáveis - e é claro que a dupla de diretores merece créditos por isto. Oct 12, 2003 | Rating: 5/5

A raw yet relaxed film buff's film... a wittier, recast version of one of your own dinner parties, with enough high drama to keep the guests talking for quite a while. Jan 16, 2003 | Rating: B | Full Review…
