Weatherl noted in his article many startling statistics about sexual violence on college campuses and attempted to offer insight by explaining that a majority of Harvard students have sex with zero or one partners.

Infinitely old and infinitely alive.” There are also moments of humor?...
...Burning Plain” that one wishes had appeared in his earlier work. For any director to make sense of one of Arriaga’s screenplays is remarkable, but for a first-timer to create a film of such elegance shows preternatural directorial insight. No actress in Hollywood better embodies stillness and frenzy than Charlize Theron, the bombshell whose statuesque grace has been the X-factor in films from “The Cider House Rules” to “Monster.” Arriaga conceived of the movie with Theron in mind, and told Vogue?...
