La intervención

Solid dramatic comedy about four sets of couples with their own quirks and problems, giving a good balanced outlook at relationships and the various ways in how they can work and work out.

The cast is great and the comedy is subtle. The film does a good job of addressing multiple viewpoints and informing the audience of who each character is and what they are feeling. The best aspect is probably how then each defined character interacts with each other, as well as which ones don't. Often times you get the feeling more of watching a play than a movie (in a good way).

Overall I recommend this film to people who like real life stories, if you are looking for lots of laugh out loud comedy, high stakes or extreme drama then you won't find it here. But a pleasant, thoughtful and enjoyable look at relationships as they mature is delivered in very fine fashion.

Loved it. Natasha and Melanie were hilarious as always and Clea is an outstanding director!

I think people get way too involved with negative feedback on this film. Take it with a pinch it's a lighthearted film, enjoyable, at some points funny, sad, very relatable. We can all relate to one of the characters/situation in the film and it's real. Good watch, would watch it again on a Sunday with a cup of tea

I've never written a review here but seeing this movie being compared to Big Chill, one of the finest movies about relationships ever, I couldn't help myself. I love these kind of movies but this is just bad filmmaking. Soulless, bad written characters and horrible story. Cannot believe that director is best friends with otherwise great Lynskey, cause she's given her one of the the worst roles of her life.

Could have been better... Could have been worse. These are signatured actors who signed, sealed, and delivered this movie with the same charm that is unique to each actor. Anytime natasha lyonne and Clea Duvall are together doing anything, it's gonna have some comedic moments. Seeing Melanie lynsky in the mix kinda gave me nostalgia for but I'm a cheerleader. Thought at first this was gonna be a sequel style romp, but turned out to be a well thought out and heartfelt storyline. This movie has real potential, however it does lack a few things that bring it just out of reach. For a first time endeavor on the part of Clea Duvall for writing and directing, you go girl! But for an avid movie watcher, there are things that so drag and lack. If you don't have uber high expectations, this movie is quite charming, but if you want an epic Hollywood blockbuster or arthouse cult flick, then do not watch because you'll just be disappointed. However, if you have respect or adoration for the cast, give it a go, you won't be disappointed with their unparalleled charm. Enjoyable flick. Sidenote, miss duvall, if you read this, get summer Phoenix in on your next project.
