Robert Kaplan

Some very good pieces but not well integrated. On the good side, the basic examination of the meaning of memory was well done. How does memory work? Is a person the same person without it? How does the person know when the loss is abnormal? Also, the ending was a nice touch - I’ll say no more on that. But in spite of the good elements, too many pieces of the plot were weak and almost laughable and the story dragged about 20 minutes too long.

Great writing. Good acting. The lure is teenage sex, but behind this is an amazing exploration of intimacy, the fear of it, what helps, what hurts. As the characters evolve so do their partner interests. You’re always guessing.
