what detracts
A number of critics have made the point that the Vedder songs do not help the film (eg NYT 'a few too many Eddie Vedder songs on the soundtrack, for example, when... Aaron Copland or dead silence might have been more welcome') and I tend to agree. I would add that the sister's narration was, to my mind, overwritten (and not specially well delivered) and accordingly distracting. A pity - otherwise the script was very good.
I beseech ye in the bowels of Christ, think that ye may be mistaken.
