Simply A Masterpiece

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

I don't know where to even begin with this.On the one hand, although the concept is not new, it was taken further than some other movies I've seen and almost everything makes sense by the end. I had a lot of issues with what led up to the end, but in the whole scheme of things, most of it comes together. Some of the more artistic scenes are interesting as well.That being said, this film suffers from really bad acting with the exception of two characters. The worst offender is the lead - my understanding is that Ms. Kingsley wrote and directed the movie, however, an actress she is not. It mas a mistake on her part to cast herself in the title role - she comes off as ridiculous and even after it is all said and done, is not believable at all. She has as much depth as a 5 minute rain puddle. There are some sex scenes written into the film which felt quite contrived and caused me to do nothing but roll my eyes. Those were badly acted as well with the primary culprit again being Ms. Kingsley. They didn't really add to the story either - as many reviewers have mentioned, it appears Ms. Kingsley thinks that those particular scenes would either save the movie or make it relevant or cool and/or that she's quite the hottie. No on all counts.There are also some badly written sections in the film - I could forgive those if they weren't so badly acted.So the bottom line is that even Faye Dunaway can't save this movie. I think it had the potential to be better than what it was, but the fact that the director and writer of the movie thought she had the chops to manage the title role ruined it for me. If you are looking for an example of how not to handle a dramatic role that requires some depth, this movie is for you. If not, you better pass.

We get a clue as to what is going on from the name "Fugazzi" aka fugazi meaning fake or wrong...something I also confuse with Fugawi (tribe) derived from the same root words. The doctor (October Kingsley) is "too young" to be a doctor and her abnormal patients claim they are there for her. Fugazzi suffers from hallucinations derived from her patient's abnormalities.Nothing much to see here. October Kingsley did a good job on a terribly scripted role. Faye Dunaway must have owed someone a favor to be in this one. The seduction scene is in the outtakes.Guide: F-word, sex, and nudity

It was obviously very low budget, but I think the director shows promise. The actors need to work on their authenticity (with the exception of Faye Dunnaway). The storyline was pretty intriguing, although predictable for someone that's watched a lot of movies. However, I like the fact that the story actually comes to a conclusion of some sort, although some editing at the end would have been beneficial. I can't stand movies that just sort of fizzle out with no sense of completion, so I applaud the director for picking a decent story that actually ends at a logical point. It's also nice to see a woman of apparent Indian decent in a lead role.

Well, this movie sounded interesting enough at least. A few uniquely shot visually askew scenes were appealing to the eye. Other than that this film was a complete train wreck. The video quality rivaled that of a poorly shot home movie. The story felt desperate to be unique and tried just a little too hard which only proved to counter-act the feel it was going for. This whole project came across as a hyper self indulgent experiment for the writer-actor-director October Kingsley. I think she honestly thought she was sexy in this movie *shivers*. The acting abilities of Kingsley and most others involved was nothing short of atrocious. All I can say is avoid this one at all costs. -PGDGM-
