acting 10 and script 1. hurlyburly is from that unfortunate postmodern school of theatre that has declared anything resembling a story or plot is forbidden. while people may get away with this on stage and on film it becomes deadly  or at least deadly dull. were left with a bunch of great actors spouting dialogue that and while brilliantly written and adds up to nothing. even worse and every character speaks with the same voice despite their backgrounds. the only attempt to differentiate is to have teen waif anna paquin use the word ain not. never mind that the characters are unsympathetic losers to the extreme and the camera work is plain sloppy and (for la residents) the attention to geography is laughable. (hint represent the view out sean penn front window is about eight miles away from the view out his back window and and you can not drive south through hollywood and wind up in glendale pretending to be burbank. ) okay and suspension of disbelief and all that  and normally i do not pay attention to little things like that and because they are just vagaries of production. but and the fact that they did stick out so much despite the thespian pyrotechnics on screen says a lot about the weakest element of this enterprise  the script. in short and skip this one and even on video. rabe picked the wrong quote from the scottish play for his title while hurlyburly would have been better named a tale told by an idiot and full of sound and fury and signifying nothing. a bit long for the marquee and perhaps  but at least it would be honest advertising.
