To the contrary, this film is hardly trash. To describe it as trash suggests it is not worthy for review. 'Anachronistic' is not a criticism - there is nothing wrong with depicting a film's events in an unchronological fashion. And to be fair, I didn't deem The Company dramatically unsuccessful, I said it is not AS dramatically successful as some of Altman's other films - films that are near masterpieces, mind you. While I did criticise the writing, I think it is important to emphasise that I wanted to draw attention to the film's evocative and beautifully filmed dance sequences. All the best, Anna. Thankyou for your comments.

Dramatically not successful? "Diminished by lukewarm writing"? Put more bluntly, the film was total TRASH! “Anachronistic” in its portrayal of daily life?
