I read the review of Long Day's Journey into Night because I was curious to see if it bore any resemblance to the movie based on the play.

After reading 500 or so words of review, I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but I have no clue as to what it's actually about. It's not so much spoiler-free as content-free. Except for adjectives. Lotsa adjectives there.
