The play itself and production is dull and paint by numbers. But the message is strong. Sometimes I think being preachy is not a bad thing to get a clear point across. That being said, I will probably forget most of this nearly immediately.

And bravo to CNN for filming/broadcasting this around the world. More of this for plays of all size. Every production deserves the same level or archival effort.

I have an allergy to plays with direct address. But there are some really wonderful moments and topics discussed. And a great central performance by Daniel Dae Kim. I am sad I missed this live, but so grateful to PBS to letting me catch up right before the Tonys.

Julio's writing. Tilda's everything. Filemaker Pro. That tram shot. I stand with Bank of America. It's all perfect.

Wooooooooof.

Trauma porn from start to finish.

I don't understand the stakes of anything. Maybe I am just ill-informed, but isn't wrestling all fake? So winning heavy weight champion is not up to talent of wrestling, but plotting by the writers/creators?

I feel like it did not focus enough on how this father essentially murdered his children and was so fucking toxic. And the mother did nothing to stop it either, or at least that's how it's portrayed in this with one dimensional characters. One of the most infuriating experiences in the cinema all year.

Some nice camera work/cinematography, and some nice performances from the guys.
