Twitter Capsule: Moore is good; scenes with Stewart, Baldwin, Kunken all show promise. Pace off. Images say too little, score too much.

VOR: ③  Even if film is less than a feast, plentiful food for thought: about parent-child dynamics, the adult lives of orphans, when smart people get sick, and curing vs. compensating for illness.
