Marguerite Schneider

Filmed beautifully but I can’t really say I had any greater depth of understanding of the two main characters and their relationship from watching it. Sound bites rather than meaningful dialog with Bernstein’s incessant manic mumbling playing too large part in the film. Most people unit are caricatures without much depth. Berstein’s brilliant music snd the period settings are the best parts. Takes itself far too seriously and misses the mark a bit.

I hadn't watched this new version until fairly recently. While I think quite a bit of it is staged (as are many such 'reality' shows) it is very well done, compelling, and convincing. I have found the show to be very uplifting, each story is one of overcoming adversity and becoming a person who is more at peace with self. A bright spot in 2020, the worst year in so many regards.
