Twitter Capsule: In which two women step into the same crevasse. Exquisite acting and writing, finessing conceits that could've undone it.

VOR: ④  Writing and directing a tale this subtle is hard enough, without imposing extra challenges of perilous metaphor. Tough takes on old age that aren't about death are equally rare.
