Movie #18 "Shape of Things" is a Neil Labute movie, a speech/theatre fave, esp. his monologues. Anyway, very naturalistic in dialogue/ themes, and very mean spirited (in my opinion) and this is, indeed, that, but very soul searching. To say too much is to ruin the film, but I will say that Rachel Weisz and Paul Rudd are marvelous in portraying our society's fixation on looks. Worth a look if you like Labute.
The Shape of Things(2003) After nerdy English student and museum guard Adam (Paul Rudd) meets attractive art student Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) during one of his shifts, his life takes on an interesting new direction. As Adam's friends notice the changes in him, they begin to wonder what's behind the mysterious transformation; could it be his new girlfriend, or is it something else he's not revealing? Neil LaBute directs this satire about relationships and self-discovery.
