...careful with his words, and too honest about himself not to have done this completely intentionally. His little statement about his "wuv" prepares the reader pretty well for the 115 sonnets it introduces. With the same accurate, often ironic, self-assessment, and with the passion which those two lines betray. Berryman set out to explore and compose his contradictory reactions to the excellent lady, his adulterous lover...
...there is no similarity between them. Rather than recalling childhood scenes, he explains, "this old lady has a very strong vision full of hallucinations and strange mystical places she has never, never been."

And in several sequences, Miss Anschuetz looks like a very beautiful child twisting her features to burlesque a temptress. The best major performance, I think, comes from Erica Ivers as the villainous nurse...
