The Breakdown
- Based on Greig play, adaptation stays faithful but flattens it
- Racial/class tensions center stage yet feel didactic
- Family dysfunction includes creepy dad-daughter vibes
- Strong cast (LaPaglia, Davis) wasted on inert script
- Critics consensus: self-affected and unaffecting
Side Effects

Watch Instead
Skip it. Watch 'Do the Right Thing' instead — same tensions, actual fire.
