Reviews for Second Time Around
Extremely well acted by the four primary actors, this is a seriously intended movie that is not easily forgotten.
With the film's striking ending, one realizes that we have a long way to go before we fully understand all the sexual permutations involved.
The sort of picture in which, whenever one of the characters has some serious soul searching to do, they go to a picture-perfect beach during sunset.
Apparently reassembled from the cutting-room floor of any given daytime soap.
Vera has created a provocative, absorbing drama that reveals the curse of a self-hatred instilled by rigid social mores.
The director explores all three sides of his story with a sensitivity and an inquisitiveness reminiscent of Truffaut.
