the film has functioned in a Freudian way. It has unlocked past trauma and provided healing, although the hovering uncertainty of "now and then" might keep optimism in check. The insistence on "heart" implies that the "breakthrough" has been accomplished not by skill or knowledge, but by art's direct appeal to the emotions. So scientific rationality, the absence of which was earlier mocked, now, after all, reveals its limitations.[by Heather Hartley]
