Review of The Graceful Art of Breaking UpThis is straight to the point on how you would break-up and how to get over it. There are many relationship tht don't last and some that do. Its simple to know what others think on their relationship yet complecated. Good use of different people's opinions of what they feel and how to get over a bad relationship. |

Review of The Graceful Art of Breaking UpI really liked the style of the piece with narration and the completion of sentences with interviews. It was a great relationship piece for teens. The music was fun and really helped the piece to feel more light and youthful. I wished that there was a little more in depth information but it was a engaging piece that is a good representation of the teen dating scene that was upbeat and fairly amusing. |

Review of The Graceful Art of Breaking Up
A terrific little piece that tackles the appropriate protocol for breaking up. IM'ing is out; e-mail is only slightly less bad. The work moves nicely; interesting use of sonic treatment to distinguish the various source voices in the story. The tie-in with Valentine's Day makes sense, but people break up every day -- I would urge the producer to write a closing line that doesn't suggest Valentine's Day.
