Media Reviews
"When I was young I understood Pip and sympathized with him and felt what he felt in his various horrors and discovery of his paternity. As I got older I...was horrified by his shallowness. It's like watching 'The Graduate' when you were young - and then older and you understand why Mrs. Robinson doesn't want to talk with him in bed."
