I don't know exactly why but this rubbed me the wrong way. Something about the way the character arcs proceeded and their stereotypical motivations pissed me off. There were a few nice things here and there, though.

The cut from the father looking into the crib for the first time to Gish in the flowers is the essence and totality of all that is good in the cinema. Thanks, Pierre.
