    It's still worth seeing for its two dazzling centerpieces.

    It's a tired genre, one that would be greatly improved if, ironically, far younger actors showed the energy and command these two old hands do.

    Landau and Burstyn remain compelling throughout.

    The production is over-stuffed with cutesy split screens, jarring dream sequences and a pushy score by Bright Eyes band members Nathaniel Walcott and Mike Mogis that succeed in dragging the proceedings from merely cloying to increasingly annoying.
