Peter and Katherine Witner are sick of their directionless, materialistic lives in Los Angeles. The couple want something more out of life, and so, after losing their jobs, they decide to open up a clothing boutique -- and open up their marriage to other partners. Their experiment in self-discovery does not go well and, with their money draining away and their lives headed down a whirlpool, they cling desperately to New Age philosophy to stay afloat.

3/4

A sometimes smart social commentary on Los Angeles characters who seek spiritual salvation when they can't buy every object they want.

4/5

There is brilliance all through The New Age -- in the writing and especially the performances of Peter Weller and Judy Davis, two of the best and most perennially underrated around. But it's a brilliance too pitiless and clear-eyed to be lovable.

The realities of their performances prove insufficient to pull Tolkin's bitter and deliberate tale from its doldrums, however, and this film lives u p to its title. Most of the time, it proves as repetitive and empty as an endless New Wave rhapsody.

B-

Sporadically witty but not too deep, New Age, Tolkin's second feature as a director continues to explore satirically the lives of self-abosrbed yuppies on the verge of economic and moral collpase.
