Twitter Capsule: Proficiently mounted and reasonably engaging, but inconsistent style and grasps of character. Its epiphanies seem naïve.

VOR: ③  Warmly received, but tricky to see why. Actors, aesthetics often wobbly. Redford belabors some interesting subtleties and waffles on others (especially ethnicity and homoeroticism).
