Excellent film, great cast! Gave it 8 stars...
This film - all at once - was real, repulsing, quirky, funny and off-beat and that's why I love it. Alan Arkin more than deserved his Oscar win and the pageant scenes were sickening and raw - just as they should be. They're ironic and hypocritical, and, during Olive's dance, humorous. I bought my copy for $5 at the grocery store. I wish there were more high-quality films like this.
