  1. A drama of extraordinary power and insight with dazzling performances from not only Spacey but also Danny DeVito (who may well be at his best ever) and from newcomer Peter Facinelli.
  2. 80
    It's a sweet chamber piece, beautifully played.
  3. 60
    It doesn't have enough power in the first place to make a strong claim on our attentions.
  4. 33
    A ponderous stage adaptation that expends only the mildest effort to overcome its staginess.
