Somehow lost in this poodle-skirted shuffle was …
Rent It THE FILM Please Note: The images used here are photos provided by Sony Pictures Classics and do not directly reflect the picture quality of the Blu-ray edition under review. Without a doubt, writer/director Ramin Bahrani ( Chop Shop , Goodbye Solo ) has a head on his shoulders and a thoughtful engagement with the impact of our social, political, cultural, and economic climate and its …
