A film best discovered without knowing too much about it. It ticked all of Jonathan Demme's boxes - love letter to a few actors, stylistic, American underbelly, opportunities for music. Melanie Griffith is wonderful, though in the second half she's very passive. Ray Liotta excellent - ditto Jeff Daniel (I miss those pre blowhard days). Fun cameos from John Sayles and John Waters. Full of quirk and tonal shifts. Like a very good Australian film. Like many of those probably half an hour too long.
