Making a Choice
Leonard Kraditor (Joaquin Phoenix) is bipolar. He lives with his parents Ruth (Isabella Rossellini) and Reuben (Moni Moshonov) in Brooklyn and works in their dry cleaning store. Since his engagement fell apart, Leonard finds himself trying to balance relationships with his self-destructive neighbor Michelle Cohen (Gwyneth Paltrow) and Sandra (Vinessa Shaw), the daughter of his father’s business associate.
While Sandra really loves Leonard, Michelle is really deeply in love with an older married man, Ronald (Elias Koteas) and wants Leonard just as a friend to pick up the pieces. Of course, it’s Michelle who Leonard is obsessed with.
Also appearing are Bob Ari as Michael Cohen and Julie Budd as Carol Cohen, Sandra parents.
Co-written and directed by James Gray.
Run time: 1 hour, 48 minute
Rated R.
My personal rating: B-
