Why Watch This

"Savages" is James Ivory's offbeat comedy that skewers the idealism of 1970s hippie communes with razor‑sharp dialogue and a deadpan ensemble. The film shines thanks to Anne Francine’s sardonic matriarch and Salome Jens’s quietly rebellious turn, offering a snapshot of a generation in flux.

The CinePearl Take

Ivory’s meticulous framing gives the chaotic commune a surprisingly orderly feel, letting the script’s wit take center stage. Anne Francine delivers a standout performance, balancing caustic humor with a lingering sense of loss. While the pacing meanders at times, the film’s thematic exploration of freedom versus responsibility remains compelling. The supporting cast, especially Sam Waterston’s earnest newcomer, adds depth to the otherwise breezy tone.
