No.2193
I'm going to do my on plot summary as best I can:
A college professor is about to receive tenure at his university. He is eventually receives a visit from a concerned student, the one in the picture, about her status in the class.
Eventually the professor is accused of sexual harrassment. Thinking this to be a misunderstanding he tries to deal with it head on by talking to the student. The student repeatedly mentions that she is part of a "group". We see all their interactions and know for a fact that he did not harass her or anything.
Finally, after realizing that this misunderstanding has cost him his entire career and possibly even his marriage he is brought to the brink by the young feminist, who scolds him for calling his wife, "honey". After which, the William H. Macy character snaps and violently attacks the young feminist nearly killing her in the process . And that's it.
There's also a play. David Mamet is one of the greats so check it out at least as an introduction.

Probably works best as a play, the dialogue doesn't work in cinema as well. Too contrived and drawn out.
No.2248
Haven't seen this one but I usually like Mamet.
However I often get claustrophobic watching films adapted from stage plays. Too much babbling happens in a single room for too long.
