DRAFT REVIEW: Sticky Fingers ‘No Divide’ music video‚ released March 8. Finian McGrath. In the wake of their sadly unsurprising and indefinite hiatus‚ Sticky Fingers have re-entered the scene – albeit briefly – to grace listeners with a cathartic goodbye. This takes the form of a visual accompaniment to the closing track of Westway (The Glitter and the Slums): ‘No Divide.’ In its very essence‚ this song is a graceful and poignant valediction. Penned‚ no doubt‚ to draw Westway softly to conclusion

It isn’t until the anthropologist can align these near and distant concepts that he or she can have a full understanding of their subject or culture.

The primary goal of Seven Pounds is to make viewers weep‚ and it pursues that aim with a doggedness that is almost commendable. The film manipulates shamelessly and‚ despite defying logic with its contrivances and unconvincing character portrayals‚ will succeed in getting many audience members to the point where tears are inevitable.
