| In this case, it probably is necessary as Cher spans so many decades. I had no objection to three actresses, but it didn't make sense to me to have them interacting with each other. All it added was a lot of unnecessary narration. I wished they attempted to dramatize what was happening rather than tell us. | |

| "I had no objection to three actresses, but it didn't make sense to me to have them interacting with each other." Certainly this is not a fresh device, but it is compelling when employed to comment on age, eras, self-knowledge. Look no further than the second half of "Three Tall Women." But of course, we have seen this for decades. "Who's That Woman?" in "Follies," without dialogue, is the most poignant use of characters side by side with younger iterations. It's still a thrilling moment when the younger women appear to tap. |

| Unfortunately, the device is not used artfully in this case and adds no poignancy. | |
