Nice individual stories but we can't see the thread that's supposed to weave these stories together into a quilt - or a movie in this case. If Finn's head was a mess in the beginning, its more of a mess now after listening to the individual stories and definitely after her mother's revelation. Great performances all around. It just doesn't weave together into a whole. We were supposed to 'see beauty in a multiplicity of patches', we were also told the theme is 'where love resides' and this was supposed to be the thread binding all the stories together. All I saw was a progressively moral decay of a once great nation. - from the post-slavery era to present day America.
