Taking a piss

Powder Room (2013)

Directed by MJ Delaney this film based on the play “When Women Wee” stars Sheridan Smith, Jaime Winstone, Kate Nash and Oona Chapin. An underachieving 20 something woman spends a night out reconnecting with an old friend she is trying to impress while avoiding her fellow slackers.

Plays do not always convert well to the screen and this is one of those films that is painfully obvious it was converted from a short play that barely stretches to fill the run time. While the setting of the story may be somewhat unique none of the story is and at times it feels underdeveloped. Ultimately this comes across as a film that needs more work and some of the cast are not really utilized to their best.


2/5
