Twitter Capsule: As forced and superficial as I'd recalled. Ryan especially unsure whom she's playing. Cheap tricks everywhere.

VOR: ③  Keeping the lovers apart until the last scene is at least a gamble. And the film has endured as a frame of reference, even if it all feels like borrowed Harry/Sally glory to me.
