Fix

Fix
Never has Los Angeles, and its underbelly denizens seemed so colourful, so tragic, and yet so culture-filled.
Fix is one of the most stylish films I've seen in a long time. It oozes character, paced rapidly by a satellite radio shuffle play soundtrack (Dead
Prez, Beautiful Girls, Ima Robot). But it's not without substance, either. In fact, there's a substance-abuser, Leo (a spot-on Shawn Andrews), along
for a ride to rehab with his filmmaker brother Milo (Tao Ruspoli, who also directs) and Milo's squeeze Bella (Olivia Wilde).
It plays like a postmodern Alice in Wonderland as we meet a myriad of caricatures – the Latino chop shop owner, out of work English actor with
accompanying cappuccino machine, sleazy-spastic five o'clock-shadowed lawyer and everything else under the sultry LA sun. That it actually feels like
a documentary not a drama only breathes more life into its believability. Possibly the festival's must-see flick.
