“A compelling and briskly moving piece that both serves as an astute character study and an engaging mystery. Darcy's entrance from the outset and meeting of Siobhan is a great hook for a more expansive and complex storyline about grief, family, forgiveness, and questioning how much you truly know about those closest to you. I enjoyed the theatrical conceit of roaming through time using the prison visitation recordings, and the melancholy and chilly atmosphere managed to be communicated well through action, pacing, tempos/rhythms, and word choice.”
