Cage, Sheridan ground it well but film belabors portentous mood. Non-professionals can be a plus but on occasion feel awkward.
VOR:③
Second, surer feint in Prince Avalanche's general direction, but still minor. Green will try anything, including curious blend of docu and drama, but career could use some shape?
