Fixing Frank

Fixing Frank is "good theater," and in the writing and in Butler's quietly chilling, ever-so-civilized portrayal, Apsey emerges as a veritable Svengali.

Boasts one of the most entertaining and bitterly astute screenplays I've had the pleasure of listening to in a while, with its lengthening spirals of deceit, mendacity and one-upmanship, and its elegant linguistic dances around difficult truths.

Full of bold dramatic strokes and complex character shadings.

A thought-provoking and involving film.

Ken Hanes's witty script shows its origins in his stage play, with the repartee often a bit too thick and fast for the screen.
