An acting tour de force from an incredibly talented cast.
Ann Dowd is a powerhouse. Martha Plimpton a treasure.
Jason Isaacs and Reed Birney exhibit restraint and raw emotion at the same time.
But the script is ponderous. The pacing is deliberate and deadly.
The part of Judy (Breeda Wool) is obsequious and annoying.
And above all, at 1 hour and 52 minutes, this badly needs an editor.
Such fine actors shouldn't have to struggle to hold up such a ponderous script.
