Review of Cassandra's Dream (2007) by Angela A — 13 Aug 2010

Lesson learned: There are no quick fixes. Be happy with what you have.

At times this was a little slow and I really wished some characters had had a little more sense. They didn't, which I guess made it all the more realistic.

It has the appeal of a slow-motion train crash: hard to look away, but you know what's going to happen and that it is only going to get worse.

The music was amazing (got to love Philip Glass) and at times used quite subtly to great effect. After long minutes of stark silence musically, this ominous creepy version of a now-familiar theme would start up again to highlight the previous silence and to note the downward spiral of their lives.
