Choose Me is a catchy romantic neo-noir with no story.
I love the atmosphere, the use of colors, and the side-to-side photography. Robert Altman made the fatal mistake of going
overboard with the latter in The Long Goodbye. The script is top-notch that's full of ironies with great one-liners.
The big reason why the film works is Keith Carradine. I like his character and, most of all, his directness. Lesley Ann
Warren, who although doesn't live up to her character well, plays along with the show. And so do Rae Dawn Chong and
Geneviève Bujold.
All in all, thanks to Keith Carradine, Choose Me is a lot of fun to watch.
