Quick Review: Set in breathtaking rural Portugal, whose pretty interiors and lush exteriors partially make up for the static camerawork and Sachs insipid direction, "Frankie" is indeed eye-pleasing and allows its top cast to drive the film, with Huppert giving a nuanced performance, but the film plays it too safe, never providing an in-depth look at its characters, nor giving real substance to its flat, dull, and pretentious story of friendship, family, fame and fading, which lacks any dramatic momentum.
