“Scorn” (**1/2 out of four) was a sporadically effective melodrama about three friends (Lindsley Register, Christie Osterhus, and Alexander McPherson) who ruminate on their past struggles with addiction, infidelity, and various other personal struggles in an apartment together over one night. Three-character story is mildly incisive with some sharp dialogue and strong performances but is unable to sustain sufficient interest for a feature-length film. Overall worth checking out especially for independent film fans but may have worked stronger as a play.
