THE DINNER<\/strong>
\nThe Orchard<\/strong>
\nReviewed by: Harvey Karten, Shockya<\/strong>
\nGrade: A-<\/strong>
\nDirector:\u00a0 Oren Moverman<\/strong>
\nWritten by: Oren Moverman, based on the novel by the Dutch author Herman Koch<\/strong>
\nCast: Richard Gere, Laura Linney, Steve Coogan, Rebecca Hall, Chlo\u00eb Sevigny<\/strong>
\nScreened at: Review 1, NYC, 4\/6\/17<\/strong>
\nOpens: May 5, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fans of Edward Albee\u2019s shattering play \u201cWho\u2019s Afraid of Virginia Woolf<\/a>\u201d are going to eat “The Dinner” up.\u00a0 \u201cThe Dinner\u201d joins the many previous films about family dysfunction but writer-director Oren Moverman handles the thematic content with genuine sophistication.\u00a0 Moverman’s 2009 movie \u201cThe Messenger<\/a>\u201d deals with the ethical struggle of an American soldier when he becomes involved with the widow of a fallen officer is in his m\u00e9tier with \u201cThe Dinner.\u201d\u00a0 This latest contribution involves the moral battle of two families whose sons have committed an atrocious crime, one father suggesting that he may hold a press conference to turn in the two criminals, his reasoning opposed by his brother, his wife and his brother\u2019s wife who believe that idealism has its place, but not when your own families are involved.\u00a0 Not only does this release deal with ethics: thematically, Moverman brings in the nature of mental illness, the concept of the trophy wife, and the needs of a weak, cynical, emotionally disturbed man whose wife treats him like a wounded bird\u2014to his disgust.<\/p>\n

This superbly acted ensemble brings together Richard Gere<\/a> in the role of Stan Lohman, a congressman well on his way to becoming the governor of his state; Steve Coogan as his younger brother and former high school history teacher Paul; Laura Linney as Paul\u2019s wife Claire Lohman; and Rebecca Hall as Katelyn Lohman, Stan\u2019s trophy wife.\u00a0 Stan, who would probably answer the biblical Cain\u2019s rhetorical assertion \u201cAm I My Brother\u2019s Keeper\u201d? with a resounding \u201cyes\u201d to Paul\u2019s dismay.\u00a0 Paul has been treated by his wife as a man who needs too much support in order to function, and by his older brother as the emotionally disturbed person that he is.\u00a0 We find out through the incisive dialogue that mental illness runs in the Lohman family, bypassing Stan, the plague resting on Paul\u2019s shoulders.<\/p>\n

When Stan invites Paul and Claire to a dinner at the poshest restaurant you can imagine\u2014one in which the m\u00e4itre d\u2019 Dylan Heinz (Michael Chernus) serves not only as sommelier but as a man who lectures the foursome about the origin of each dish, we know right off that we are in the hands of a writer-director who can deal equally with satire and with melodrama.\u00a0 It\u2019s difficult to believe that the next governor would have to wait three months for the reservation, but we can easily accept that Paul, who feels vastly inferior to his politician brother.\u00a0 Paul knows, or thinks, that his mother treated Stan as the favored son, that his wife looks down upon him, and must face the contempt of his teen son Michael (Charlie Plummer<\/a>) who stands up to him, having no problem with cursing his dad out.<\/p>\n

After some semblance of civilized discussion, they change tables to a private room where Stan has something to say that could alter six or seven lives irrevocably.\u00a0 Why he would choose a public restaurant to reveal such intimate details, especially in front of Paul\u2019s adviser Nina (Adepero Oduye) is anybody\u2019s guess.\u00a0 Both the sons had committed a terrible crime, the act destined for social media; but so far nobody knows the identity of the perpetrators.\u00a0 Paul is willing to use the nuclear option:\u00a0 destroy his own political career, lose his wife to divorce, create a final break with his brother and sister-in-law, and condemn the young lads to a long term in prison.\u00a0 This is the nature of idealism.\u00a0 The other three disagree with this decision and let him know as forcibly as they can without actually raising weapons.\u00a0 For his part, Paul, quoting from the Civil War battle of Gettysburg (we are actually taken to the scene), decides that he would go to war if necessary to defend his family.<\/p>\n

The story is anything but straightforward.\u00a0 Bobby Bukowsky behind the lens photographs within the lavish restaurant and outside, the suburban streets being the playground of teens Michael, Rick (Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick<\/a>) and Beau (Miles J. Harvey).\u00a0 They horse around and find the opportunity to deal with a homeless woman inside an ATM with the kind of cruelty that you see publicized now and then whenever the homeless are bullied merely because they are too weak to fight back.<\/p>\n

The spot-on performances find Steve Coogan reacting against type, the British actor utilizing a perfect American accept, demonstrating the view of himself as a loser in one of the most authentic performances one can imagine in such a role.\u00a0 His monologue to high school students is the kind of lecture many teachers wish they could get away with.\u00a0 He is contrasted with the character played by Richard Gere, whose puffed-up white hair and puffed-up personality contrast with his brother\u2019s near crew-cut and self-deprecating humor.\u00a0 At the same time Laura Linney affords us with the most superlative job as the wife who wears the family pants and who is the congressman\u2019s equal in debating the ethics of the situation, while for her part Rebecca Hall, acting in a relatively passive state throughout most of the title dinner launches into a harangue against her husband for treating her like a trophy.<\/p>\n

For his part Charlie Plummer takes such pride in his malicious crime that the movie audience would probably want to send him away for life, or possibly to Syria.\u00a0 \u201cThe Dinner\u201d brings out all the complexities of the novel (available for under $10 at Amazon) at once with cinematic flair and stunning performances.<\/p>\n

Rated R.\u00a0 120 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong>
