[dar-list] Lost and Delirious

[Wood Alexander]

Sorry to be slow to respond on a thread I started. But
the reason I liked "Lost and Delirious" so much was
that I really liked all three main characters and, as
a result, cared about what happened to them. Contrast
that to "Notes on a Scandal," where the main character
(played by Judi Dench) was so manipulative that I just
couldn't summon much sympathy for her, even if the
high point of her weekends was her trip to the
lauderette.
