This is really a touching “play” about the human condition and unmet needs. You also get to see Patrick Stewart command the tiniest of stages with a character he doesn’t play on tv.

I call these type of films plays, because they take place in one setting and the cast is limited. They also tend to center on a single theme and explore it with the audience. There are no spoon fed answers here or in ‘Death of a Salesman’.

If you’re in the mood for an adult drama about the human condition, then you’ll likely like this.

This is not an action film or comedy. If you don’t like plays, it’s probably not for you.

I wasn’t in the mood for something that required my attention; but the acting, screenplay and theme caught me. I ended up really invested in these people and their ceaseless longings.

Let me end with, “Everyone needs a hug.”
