See it if you are interested in a very intense story and high octane performances

Don't see it if the subject matter is too dark and distrubing

Don't see it if don't like tension in the theater.

See it if I saw this when off B'Way @ MTC co-starring Alison Pill. Too intense to see it again, although I did like it and Jeff Daniels' performance.

Don't see it if You can't tolerate disturbing stories.

See it if you want intense, provocative themes, and like tiny casts. You want to see celebrities in action. You like complete naturalism.

Don't see it if You need nuance - this performance started with high emotion and thus didn't have anywhere to build. It was one-note.

See it if like the actors; 2 characters locked in a room try to integrate roiling emotions, dissociating thoughts, fractured identities.

Don't see it if you hate feeling queasy. JD revved-up but nuanced, felt "true"(a lifeline under the circumstances). MW so trembly, it was worrisome.

See it if You want to see intensity and Michelle Williams or Jeff Daniels

Don't see it if You want more than intense acting that borders on too far

See it if You like to watch Herculean acting.

Don't see it if You don't care to sit through over-wrought high-pitched direction, lots of suffering and yelling and a play which never pays off.
