Love in the Time of Money

2002 Drama

Like La Ronde, Peter Mattei's debut film Love in the Time of Money consists of a series of conversational duets that ultimately returns to the person who started the entire chain of events. Starting with prostitute Greta (Vera Farmiga) and disgruntled trick Eddie (Domenick Lombardozzi), the story soon includes a housewife on the look for an affair (Jill Hennessy), her husband (Malcolm Gets), an artist (Steve Buscemi), a gallery worker (Rosario Dawson), and a salesman (The Sopranos' Michael Imperioli). This film was screened at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival after being developed in the Sundance labs.

Director: Peter Mattei

  • Guaranteed-to-bum-you-out conclusion.

  • Sluggishly paced and shot in the sort of grubby digital video that renders even the dewiest skin tone liverwurst gray, the film comes across as little more than a series of acting workshop exercises wrapped in a tissue of cliché.

    Manohla Dargis - Los Angeles Times

  • Mattei is tiresomely grave and long-winded, as if circularity itself indicated profundity.

    Michael Atkinson - Village Voice

  • The characters who cross paths here in the hard shadows of late-'90s New York City are meant to convey loneliness, bitterness, neediness, loss, and bad karma. Mostly, they convey bad Sundance.

    Lisa Schwarzbaum - Entertainment Weekly

  • Anemic chronicle of money grubbing New Yorkers and their serial loveless hook ups.
