    I enjoyed it very much. I was very impressed with Glenn Close and her portrayal of a great stage actress but didn't play the part too over the top. Her relationship with her daughter was pretty much what you might expect from her character. She was very self indulgent but still there for her daughter when it really counted. The intricate development of the characters was intriguing.

    Heights is one of those movies that has become more popular over the last few years: Story lines involving seemingly unrelated characters finally converge at a cinematic crossroads leaving the viewer guessing along the way about the relationship each has to one another. The exposition is expertly crafted, and the dialogue and acting both well above average, but the movie seems to lose a little steam after the first hour when the audience realizes where the roads may lead. Glenn Close does her best as a weathered diva who remains as confused about relationships as every other character on hand. This is a small gem of a film that offers something a little more unusual than your standard video fare.

    It has layers. I like how separate stores become one at the end.
