New Film Draws Notice For What Its Actors Leave Unsaid

A review from Variety Film credits the two central performances in "A Common Story" for portraying a couple's drift apart without turning to raised voices. The trade publication contrasts the approach with relationship dramas that build toward a shouting match, a pattern it says leaves both cast and audience worn down. In this film, the review states, the actors carry the couple's growing distance through means other than argument.
