I have not met writer-director Rodrigo Garcia, but based on his previous films (“Things You Can Tell Just By Looking at Her,” “Nine Lives”), it’s safe to deduce three things. First, that he really loves and depends on actors, for each of his picture relies on a large, stellar ensemble. Second, that he loves women, as most of his narrative criss-crossed tales of women of various ages, races, professions, sexual orientation, and so on. And third, that he is a humanist of the highest order, believing in a life that’s ultimately based on harmonious co-existence of men and women, whites and blacks (and other minorities), parents and children. In Garcia’s utopian world, all problems could be resolved with greater sensitivity to self and others by achieving more acute self-consciousness.
