Glenne headly making mr right5/11/2023 The goofy innocence does get exhausting after a time but in the latter third Ssan Seidelman allows it to progress to an ending that touches in the film’s chaotically amiable way. ![]() She has two good performers on hand who do make the film work a good deal more than it would have without them – Ann Magnuson who has a way of lighting up the entire screen every time she crinkles her eyes in humour and John Malkovich whose dual essayal of the emotionless Jeff and the wide-awake blank innocent Ulysses is an extraordinary chameleon split.
