While David Mamet's Oleanna is sure to spark

While David Mamet's Oleanna is sure to spark debate and has its share of interesting perspectives, it ultimately falls flat due to the fact that the only two characters in the film are absolutely repugnant. John (William H. Macy), a college professor, is a condescending narcissist, enamored by his own sense of superiority. Carol (Debra Eisenstadt), one of John's students, is a social justice warrior, unable to take responsibility for her own failures as a student, looking to place them at the feet of her teacher. For ninety minutes, they engage in a pompous dialogue, begging the question: does anyone really communicate like this? Those who bow at the Mamet altar will probably lap this up. More objective viewers will recognize this for what it is – pretentious.

Not as incendiary as the play but that's mostly because you aren't trapped in an enclosed space with the characters and a live audience. I think the movie still works because you're emotionally invested in the tragedy of the piece. Mamet's writing is often derided unfairly as unrealistic and/or impenetrable but the language here is the key to why it doesn't feel too dated.
