Of Self-Possession.

Watched the new-on-DVD Barney's Version last night. Call it a study in karma, the film is a beautifully caustic and sobering look at the consequences of our choices.

What struck me most was the economy of words that actress Rosamund Pike's character, Miriam, uses to get her point across. 

Effective and moving. 

So often, less is more in dialogue.
