Directed by Robert AltmanWhile helicopters overhead spray against a Medfly infestation a group of Los Angeles lives intersect, some casually, some to more lasting effect.

Short Cuts Ratings & Reviews
- mickerdoo10 January 2026Early 90s LA slice of life. Little long but has heavy hitters on the cast. Explores sex, loss and self absorption. MacDowell and Moore shine.
- Robert Whitley20 October 2025Interesting movie. Has multiple stories of different couples. Some intertwine some don't so much.The thing that stands out here is the phenomenal cast.
