Lo que hicieron Leigh y Cumming fue reunir a un grupo de amigos actores, y disparar algunas acideces sobre comportamientos más bien frívolos que generalmente esconden costados más amargos del ser humano.

An exercise in what it critiques -- the self-involvement and self-dramatization of performers.

Too formlessly turgid.

convenient confessions, extraneous crises, and unearned emotionalism

What's missing from this party is the recognition that most of us have much bigger [problems], and tend to cope with less angst.

The problem with The Anniversary Party is that it doesn't seem to have an audience in mind.

An actory movie, with performers gorging on the kind of histrionics an experienced director would put a lid on.

You know how sometimes you tell a story, and you think it's really funny, but no one else gets it? Well, guess you had to be there. Tell that story for about two hours and you have The Anniversary Party.

What crashes Party's potentially freewheeling sense of merriment is the choice by Cumming and Leigh to shoot it in DV.
