Quote:
"Unfortunately, the film [The Far Shore] is less lucid than its story line, because the characters must do triple duty. They carry not only their names but also labels of portent: Oppressed Wife, Dull Husband, Sensitive Artist, Brutish Friend. Further burdened as political symbols, they totter along well-worn warpaths (French Canadians vs. English Canadians, Art vs. Technology, Men vs. Women) and never get a chance at personal or subtle life."
