...These are, after all, three lost and lonely souls, and the possibility of blubbering breakdowns and bondings hovers constantly over the movie. But its young writer-director, Lisa Krueger, making her first feature, will have none of that.

Most remarkable of all, distinguished scientists in both books spend an inordinate amount of time laboriously explaining to one another stuff they had to have learned as undergraduates. Couldn't more convincing stooges have been found...
