Richard's narration is exceptionally insidious, which makes Married Life at once fascinating and routine.  Film ReviewLars and the Real Girlby Cynthia Fuchs[16.Oct.07] :.

Film ReviewNo Reservations (2007)by Cynthia Fuchs[27.Jul.07] :.

Film DVD ReviewGood Night, and Good Luck (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[16.Mar.06] :.

'David and I are not smart enough to come up with a character that's as complex as Zooey is.'" All the Real Girls (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[3.Apr.03] :. Paul has the sort of confidence that afflicts good-looking boys used to getting what he wants. The Safety of Objects (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[8.Mar.03] :.
