Negative Positive
Title: good performances - weak story line
Review: The acting is superb - all four characters. The problem is that the story is based on an unbelievable premise and mental illness - even (or especially) when well portrayed - is just not very interesting. This is a kind of high-brow soap opera.Anyone who knows the University of Chicago will enjoy the local color. It is accurate down to the funeral in Rockefeller Chapel, the Midway, and even the location of the math department in Eckert Hall.
