Movie Review (Synopsis):

Donovan also stars in the film, portraying a once-successful playwright, Robert Longfellow, who is taken hostage by an [ex-con] neighbor while on a routine visit to his childhood home. Two-time Emmy-nominee David Morse plays Gus (the neighbor); a man Robert has avoided since he was a boy. The film also stars Olivia Williams; Katherine Helmond and Eileen Ryan play supporting roles. As the drama unfolds, social status, celebrity and the threat of violence converge, leaving the playwright simultaneously shattered and inspired.

A playwright whose marriage and career are in a free fall has an explosive run-in with his former neighbor, a right-wing ex-con.

the actor has seen more than a few directors at work. Yet when Donovan donned the metaphorical jodhpurs to helm his first movie, Collaborator, there was still one aspect of the filmmaker’s trade which came as a surprise. “No one told me that one of the key parts of a director’s job is to keep people from killing each other,” says Donovan. “This is a huge thing! People are people and they get together and personalities clash and they want to gouge each other’s eyes out. Now, I must tell you, my crew, who I adored, were very supportive. But this is the nature of human beings.”

Collaborator, which Donovan also wrote and stars in, is very much about the nature of human beings. Although technically a hostage drama, the film is lacking in stunt-heavy shenanigans or Die Hard-esque hero-strionics. Instead, the movie zeroes in on the complex and evolving dynamic between Donovan’s dispirited playwright Robert Longfellow and his troubled, gun-wielding childhood acquaintance Gus, played by David Morse. Meanwhile, acting support is provided by, amongst others, Olivia Williams as Longfellow’s movie star paramour Emma Stiles and ex-Hole bassist Melissa Auf der Mauer, who portrays the playwright’s wife.

Robert Longfellow (Martin Donovan, THE OPPOSITE OF SEX, “Boss”, Weeds”) is a famous playwright who can’t seem to catch a break. His recent Broadway play was met with horrible reviews and an early cancellation, and his marriage is being tested as an old flame (Olivia Williams, THE GHOST WRITER, RUSHMORE) has reentered his life during a particular moment of weakness. Retreating back to his childhood home to visit his mother (Katherine Helmond, BRAZIL), Robert crosses paths with his childhood neighbor, Gus (David Morse, THE GREEN MILE, DANCER IN THE DARK, “Treme”). A right-wing, ex-con who still lives at home with his mother, Gus is Robert’s polar opposite in every possible way. When Gus holds Robert hostage at gunpoint during a drunken reunion gone terribly wrong, the drama unfolds as social status, celebrity and the imminent threat of violence converge, building up to a climax that will leave both men forever changed.

With an acclaimed acting career spanning over 20 years, including starring roles in a number of iconic Hal Hartley films beginning with TRUST in 1990, COLLABORATOR marks Martin Donovan’s first time behind the camera as a writer and director, and he makes the most of it in this riveting and insightful debut.

Once there, Robert crashes with his elderly mom (Katherine Helmond, EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND), who, for some reason, repeatedly calls him “Kevin” – one of a couple of head-scratching moments for which Donovan provides no explanation. Wandering aimlessly through the southern California sunshine, Robert reconnects with long-ago lover and muse Emma (Olivia Williams, AN EDUCATION) and the two make a half-hearted plan to work together on a screenplay. Robert’s professional plans go awry, however, when he naively allows Gus (David Morse, TREME), an ex-con who never left the neighborhood, in for a beer. Gus, it turns out, is a wanted man, and Robert quickly becomes his hostage.

Donovan is a fine actor, and his stern visage and soulful eyes give his characters a searching quality that is always welcome. But he doesn’t bring the same level of detail to his work behind the camera, which is choppy and predictable. The housebound nature of COLLABORATOR isn’t helped by Donovan the director’s repetitive, back-and-forth editing between characters and static camera.

Morse is always reliable, and the enigmatic and foul-mouthed Gus is right in the actor’s wheelhouse, taking advantage of his intimidating bulk and quietly insinuating voice. Helmond has some nice moments as Donovan’s addled mom, and Williams acquits herself in her small but meaty appearance.

Jason Spingarn-Koff, series producer and curator of Op-Docs, called BRITDOC "a leader in empowering filmmakers to bring important stories to global audiences." He added that it was "an honor to work with the BRITDOC Foundation to help expand the reach and impact of independent documentaries."
