Allison Anders

Director of Grace of My Heart.

Four Rooms (1995) -- Directed with Alexandre Rockwell, Robert Rodriguez, and Quentin Tarantino. It's hard to rate this movie as a whole, since the four parts by the four different directors are so different, though I can say that Tim Roth's performance throughout is hilarious. The first witch segment is stupid, the second segment is dull. Robert Rodriguez's third section is very funny, with over-the-top acting by Antonio Banderas, more hilarity from Tim Roth, two funny kids, and a crazy situation. Quentin Tarantino's fourth segment is the best, which is odd since mostly it's just talk (though, of course, that's half of what makes Tarantino so great, and this is some of the best talk ever). Allison Anders and Alexandre Rockwell get a frowny face; Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino get a huge grin face. The average is the smiley face for my main rating.
