...ONLY THING more overdone in Angel than the cliches is the film's symbolism. It isn't enough that director O'Neil accentuates Angel's goodness by having her wear saddle shoes and bobby socks to school. But no, she also has to don pretty red ribbons, have a pink and purple bedroom set, and have an appropriately ambiguous nickname.

What follows is frequently funny and pointed but sometimes mutes Norman's natural voice and sounds uncomfortably like those of other playwrights. There are Neil Simonesque one-liners: "Life is summer camp, and death is lights-out." Ibsenesque dialectic about values: "God found God, and it was Man: God has sat up there believing in us." Albee-like catharsis: "My only comfort is knowing that my life is actually as empty as it feels."
