FILM REVIEW
 The Shape of Things
Director: Neil LaBute
Cast: Paul Rudd, Rachel Weisz, Gretchen Mol
Classification: 16L
Running Time: 97 minutes
Opens On: 16 April 2004
A contemporary story of love, sex and art set in a college town, the
film follows the steadily intensifying relationship between Evelyn (Rachel
Weisz) and Adam (Paul Rudd). As Evelyn strengthens her hold on Adam, his
emotional and physical evolution discomforts his friends Jenny (Gretchen
Mol) and Philip (Frederick Weller), with unexpected consequences for all.
By turns hopeful and harsh, the quartet of college-age characters
deals with the conflicting human desires for autonomy and connection,
truth and love, and the notion that seduction is an art.
