Movie Description
Richard Linklater, known for directing films that take place over a one-day period (SLACKER, DAZED AND CONFUSED, BEFORE SUNRISE), magnifies that concept even further with TAPE. Adapted from the Stephen Belber play, TAPE takes place in a Lansing, Michigan hotel room, where two old friends reunite ten years after graduation. Vince (Ethan Hawke), a lackadaisical fire fighter who pays the rent by selling pot, and John (Robert Sean Leonard), a self-assured filmmaker whose debut feature is set to screen at the Lansing Film Festival, greet each other with smiles and hugs. But as their conversation becomes more personal, Vince brings up an old grudge from the past, which confounds John. Vince is convinced that on the night before graduation, John date-raped his ex-girlfriend, Amy (Uma Thurman), and he won't rest until John tells him what really happened. Eventually, John admits the truth, evoking a shocking response from Vince. John must finally confront the demons from his past. When Amy arrives at the hotel room and joins the old friends, she detonates the explosive situation, accusing both Vince and John of being selfish, heartless cowards, which they actually are. Shot on digital video all in one location, TAPE is a character study that features strong performances by all three leads.

Editorial Reviews
"...The unexpected plot twists keep us on edge, and the complexities in the relationships are beautifully observed..."
Movieline - p.48 - Stephen Farber (11/01/2001)

"...Incisive....Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean Leonard and Uma Thurman give the most psychologically acute performances of their film careers..."
New York Times - p.E1 - Stephen Holden (11/02/2001)

"...[Hawke] gives every moment a tiny punch of surprise...[Leonard] delivers a supple and lacerating performance of his own..."
Entertainment Weekly - p.81 - Owen Gleiberman (11/09/2001)

"...Riveting, caustically funny....The wrenching result is impossible to shake..."
Rolling Stone - p.134 - Peter Travers (11/08/2001)

"...The film throbs with arresting close-ups from above and below..."
Sight and Sound - p.55-6 - David Jays (06/01/2002)

"...The writing, acting and direction are so convincing we get caught up in the drama..."
Chicago Sun-Times - p.5 - Roger Ebert (12/23/2001)

"A lean, taut drama....Linklater, working within the confines of a single set shows great dexterity with his actors, as well as with his editing and cinematography."
Premiere - Andy Webster (05/01/2004)
