Flawless

The performance in this film by philip seymour hoffman is without doubt absolutely brilliant....in fact flawless.. This picture at one level is a sombre tale of the relationships between a group of dwellers in a dinghy apartment block but there are a number of astonishingly good performances...especially from the so called "drag queens" and the hotel receptionist, the little old lady in the wheel chair and all the villains.... The only disappointment is the lead actor and to borrow the words of another reviewer he seems to be "going through the motions" .....but the writing and direction is excellent and I want to congratulate the writer/director..... I highly recommend this film!!!!
