French Exit (out Mar 18) is the story of an egotistical mother from New York City, born into wealth and privilege, who must sharply adjust her lifestyle after reaching the point of insolvency. I’m not fully convinced by what it all adds up to but the quirkiness of the film makes it worth the trip. Michelle Pfeiffer is terrific and I enjoyed the blend of comedy and drama. Grade: B.
