...chimpanzees kept at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico during the 1960s and '70s to study the effects of space travel--like Ham, the first primate in orbit--she never made it off the ground. Instead she did her duty as a breeder, a friendly, easily handled chimp mom who gave birth at least a dozen times before her untimely death...
...resembles Maine, with a suppressed memory of hard winters in the woods long ago. Bean's world, robustly cozy, is subliminally less privileged and more autonomously practical than Crew's: the young people are off-beautiful and went to state schools; no undercurrent eroticism here, no touching except for Mom's hugs at Christmas and Thanksgiving.

There's a droll tough love in this inversion of Father Knows Best, where Dad is given to arias of rage, Mom kills people, Bud and Princess do junk. The tone is naturalism run amuck: two-ton emoting, closeups of syringes in groins. Enough! But it's fun to see a scene stealer like Woods go bananas. Here he goes a bunch of them...
