Dinner Party (2021)
A wonderful ensemble delivers on the deliciously nuanced script
A High school Reunion coincides with the day a verdict is handed down in a sexual assault trial. As the boys reconnect their bonds from a decade ago, the deep dark secrets of their relationships are peeled, layer by layer.
In this new world, their backgrounds, their races, their sexes, and their cultures which didn't seem to matter in high school come to the forefront. And at the dinner table where the wine and food flowed, something else was served-the truth from events ten years ago.
Every single cast member contributed to bring the script onto the screen. The scenes were intimate, credible, and lead the audience through the ups and downs of the emotional roller coaster that every character went through.
The neat part about the film was that everyone was a lead and everyone was a support character.
In an era where deep dialogue about sensitive topics are often wrapped into soundbites, it was refreshing to watch a movie doing a deep dive into the multiple layers of emotions that people have to deal with when facing their past.
