Settling down at the table, cozy and ready to dream a little, he pulled out the maps he had been collecting. He hoped it would make a WHALE of a tale, one to last the whole winter: a trip alone with his faithful HOUND at his side, setting out to hike in the White Mountains. His goal was a week, with a plan to PITCH a tent each night, carrying everything he and the dog would need for the whole journey. It would be a TIGHT schedule, given how close it would be to the first snows. But if he planned well and kept the goal in SIGHT, the timing should be RIGHT.

Watching Women Talking

In a few simple lines the WHOLE story was exquisitely limned.
Sparse set, cinematography, and pacing were an elegant MATCH
for the PITHY prose spoken, or emotions wordlessly conveyed.
Every cast member moment an artistic achievement.
Layers of subtleties and detail pulled the viewer in, palpable.
We felt TIGHT in our chest, holding our breath
especially anticipating the final FIGHT.
Building, oh so RIGHT, of the final scene –
rendering arc, the pain and promise of exodus.
