As always with WA, there are lots of cringe moments.  We are meant to revel
in, or at least feel an awe for really bad behaviors: deceit and
selfishness stand at the font for our view.  It is not comedic.  It is a
story told well in many flashes back as the present unfolds.

It is also Allen's take on A Streetcar Named Desire, and it has lots of
anguish and passion for that effort.  The two sisters are the key players,
but in a more complex dance with more players.

Give it a shot.
