...Washington, made in 2000, when he was just 25, plunged deep into the inarticulate depths of preteen love; and his All the Right Girls brought the same meticulous, poetic attention on college-age kids. Snow Angels, though seemingly broader and more conventional, has the Green love of repeated behavioral detail. We see a woman run her fingers through her hair and, moments later, her son does the same; an estranged couple faces each other, edgily she with her hands folded, he with his hands in his pockets.

...Wright and producer C. Alexander Tremblay ’10, who must follow a Tony award-winning production and precede a film version that stars Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman. But despite its large ambition, what makes this production so successful is its attention to the smallest detail.
