Review: The Storm at the Door

The Storm at the Door dotes on the drama suffered by a couple in the months prior to and after their forced separation. First he torments her with his mania and alcoholism as she enables him; then he's tossed in the sanitarium where his patience and will are tested while she suffers humiliation and guilt, forced to raise the kids alone and go to Church Sundays. With a microscopic story arc, the characters were left to do the heavy lifting but they weren't strong enough.
