premise: As Felicia, the coltish Elaine Cassidy manages to look both luminous and unformed, and Bob Hoskins gives Hiditch's bland homilies so much subtext he made me think of the Paris Opera House in the Phantom of the Opera : basement under basement under basement down to the dungeons.
hypothesis: Nobody could play Felicia and Hiditch in Felicia's Journey better than Elaine Cassidy and Bob Hoskins.
