Plaza Suite

About This Movie

Plaza Suite is an interesting watch, really. It captures Neil Simon's wit in a live filmed format, which adds a distinct vibe. You get three acts in the same suite, which is clever storytelling. The performances by Lee Grant and Jerry Orbach are quite compelling; they really breathe life into their roles with a natural rhythm. The pacing feels a bit like a stage play, since it was filmed in front of an audience, but that adds a certain charm. The humor is light yet poignant, touching on themes of relationships and the passage of time. It’s not flashy, just straightforward with an old-school feel, like you’re peeking into a slice of life at the Plaza. Quite distinctive in that regard.
