Maybe too well. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes because it is so similar to my experience with my mother, who has dementia.

I'd say that girl has a future in acting and the director...definitely a future for him. The timing, the music, it all worked well. Sidenote: When she said, "My name is Lisa." My first thought was that 70s country song "I'm not Lisa" by Eriko Jo. (I'm guessing no one else here remembers it. ) Compelling.

Why would I go to the theater? Seriously, fuck TV. It's beautiful story which uses the medium to its best effect. "Turn off you computers and read a book" ... yes, but no.
