Sex, Lies, and Videotape

I used to be quite the fan of Soderbergh, and I can still see the quality in a film like this. But two decades after my first watch, there are a few too many things keeping me from fully appreciating this one. I still enjoyed the rewatch, but there were too many lulls and a general lack of excitement to give this a proper high rating.

The actors do a decent job, but they don't quite hit the mark for the drama to land. The presentation is also rather plain, though kudos for the slightly ambient-driven score. The structure of the film is pleasant, and it's nice to see masks slipping gradually, it's just that the packaging felt a bit underwhelming.
