...detective bit comes in, therefore, as we are faced with stringing together the characters, who seem to exist in independent bubbles--very well-acted bubbles, but bubbles nonetheless. Phillip throws Sylvia to the ground, but he starts just--just--a little to early, and the moment is off. Some pauses adopt an almost film noirish mystery, instead of magnifying emotion...
...Carnival (a script addition), only to disappear completely in the one explicit sex scene (definitely a script addition), which Softley deliberately deeroticizes to show the gulf that opens between Kate and Merton. Both the sexualized metaphor of the masked carnival and the loveless sex may strike one as a bit heavy-handed, but both sequences are effective thanks to the remarkable capacity of the two actors to turn the heat on and off at will...

By getting...
...injury bug bit Penn (5-3, 4-1) hard on Saturday, as running back Jason McGee exited in the first quarter in favor of Jim Finn, who carried 33 times for 146 yards against the Tigers (4-4, 1-4), one of the more successful defensive packages against the Harvard running game...
