Heights

Twenty-four hours in New York. Isabel is a photographer, a few weeks from marrying her fiancé Jonathan, and something in her does not want it. Her mother Diana is a well-known stage actress who learns her husband has taken up with someone new and has until evening to think her own life over. Into the same day come Alex, a young actor auditioning for Diana, and Peter, a journalist working on a magazine piece. Everyone is holding something back, and it all comes out before the day ends. Chris Terrio directs, with Glenn Close as Diana and Elizabeth Banks as Isabel. Ninety-eight minutes. It was Terrio's first film; years later he won an Oscar for the screenplay of Argo.
