Director/screenwriter David Mamet’s incendiary filmization of his own provocative play exploring sexual harassment tells of a troubled college professor John (William H. Macy, reprising his stage role) who is falsely accused of making advances to failing student Carol (Debra Eisenstadt). With his tenure and family life threatened by the claims, John confronts Carol in an attempt to understand her motives, and the drama builds to an intense examination of sexism, political correctness, and group affiliation. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
