My overall impression
How anyone survives a harrowing childhood is sometimes unfathomable, but in Gentle Passage we see the power of healing through storytelling. Actor Gary Rubenstein deftly holds our attention as Joe, a man with Alzheimer’s who is unraveling these memories — and no self-pity for this character. Rachel Boller plays the psychologist who can barely be bothered with the study of Alzheimer’s medication she’s been assigned, but by the end, the stories have worn away at her armour. Rachel beautifully allows us to see her vulnerability and humanity. Paul Elliot and Ed Joswick’s piece cracks open our hearts as well.
