This is the kind of film that deserved much more attention..., 23 October 1999
9/10
Author: danielldb from Belo Horizonte, Brazil

I don't understand why the public and the critic didn't celebrate "Six Degrees of Separation". It is a very, very good and unusual dramatic comedy about, among other subjects, the high society life and the ambitions. I liked this film very much and I highly recommend it. However, there is a hollow ending and so I gave it a 9 out of 10. The same way a must-see.
