Ira Sachs' uneven movie follows a terminally ill woman who tries to stage-manage how loved ones will live once she's dead. Read Peter Travers' review of 'Frankie'

Easier said than done, even for a force of nature like Frankie. After arriving in Sintra with her second husband, Jimmy , she decides her petulant, finance wiz of a son, Paul , will meet and marry Ilene , a hair stylist Frankie befriended on one of her films. Inconveniently, Ilene has come to Sintra with her boyfriend, Gary , a cameraman eager to make his debut as a director, and even more eager to get Ilene to move in with him.

It’s a secret their teen daughter, Maya is hell-bent on exposing — when she’s not caught up in her own fraught encounter with first love. Also in attendance at this gathering is Michel , Frankie’s first husband, who left her with the shocking — to Frankie at least — news that he’s gay.— refuse to be pawns on Frankie’s personal chessboard. Sachs clearly wants to make these overlapping personal relationships into an artful and erotic kaleidoscope of loves won and lost.
