Standout of the film is the artwork done by Martin...sort of the Far Side revisited, clever and wordless. The film is close to wordless as well, relying on one of the most intrusive and off-putting film scores I've ever experienced. (I watched on Netflix, put on closed caption, and muted out the songs generally after just a few bars). The film is thoughtful in presenting a portrait of grief, but at 90 minutes, it feels about 30 minutes too long. The film's ending didn't convince me of the character's develpment. Fine performance by Kevin Kline is worth noting.
