Twitter Capsule: You can argue details; not all actors make equal impressions. But storytelling is adult, with sorrow and wit.

VOR: ④  Exciting to see Hollywood take on Singer's storytelling in more loyal terms than Yentl attempted, and to couch sexual roundelay and Holocaust history in such nervy tandem.
