Even though we were sitting in our home office, my wife and I just had a "driveway moment". The way the story was told, the voices of the participants, sharing of life lessons learned all kept our attention.
At 17 minutes plus, its a weird length to fit into many shows, but that is obviously what it took to tell this story.
And, after 4 or 5 minutes, the scene is set and in come the "Girl Detectives"!!!
The story telling is VERY good, intriguing.
I think perhaps women would hear this story very differently than men. It's a story of trust betrayed, a trust of the truisms that keep women locked in (their) place. The piece was paced nicely and kept me engaged. The dialogue was captivating and I ended up caring greatly about the characters. I found the ending wholly unsatisfying -- which is to say, perfect for this piece. Life doesn't tie all the loose ends up in nice bows. Nice work, Sue.
