Vicki says: “James White is not an easy character to portray. He is basically a self-destructive distraught train wreck of a young man who is called upon to take care of his dying mother, played wonderfully by Cynthia Nixon. As her condition gets worse, James finds himself totally overwhelmed by emotion, anguish and grief. His basket of coping skills is empty. Christopher Abbot’s nuanced performance allows us to watch James as his life crumbles. It is both tragic and riveting.”
Bruce says: “Cynthia Nixon gives a gritty, touching performance as Gail White, a dying woman. Her son James is adrift in a world of drugs, alcohol and erratic behavior. When he moves back home to be her caregiver, tensions abound. Without hope for her own recovery she struggles to last long enough to reconnect with her son and prepare him for a solo journey.”
