...Archibald Craven, Mary's emotionally challenged uncle and guardian, Matthew Anderson '03 brings to life a multi-dimensional character struggling to deal with the loss of his wife and struggling to deal with Mary, this new life-force who invades his forbidding Victorian household. Anderson's singing improves upon his effortless ability to act with both the living and the dead. His impressive timbre adds new layers of meaning to Lucy Simon's beautiful and haunting melodies...
Jaclyn Huberman '01 as Lily Craven (Archibald's deceased wife), Stephen Toub '01 as Neville Craven (his younger brother), and Jennifer Glick '00 as Martha (Mary's chambermaid) stand out for their vocal abilities as well.

Huberman's performance is consistently on a professional level...

And there's a lot of sharp acting, led by Hanks' pained restraint. The two villains are vigorously portrayed: a sadistic, craven guard (Doug Hutchison) and a strutting, rabid inmate (played with a daringly lunatic, dark-star quality by Sam Rockwell), whose crimes are even worse than we feared. At the core, though, one finds a slacky, sappy film. The human mystery that breathed so easily in Shawshank is often forced here. Grandstanding...
