Review of Cutting

I think the issue of self-mutilation is an important and dangerous
one, however I feel that this piece could have covered it better. Some
of the descriptions, "games", and the music, were downright
disturbing. The feel the piece gave me was that the speaker was
pro-cutting. Also therer were some parts about teen sex which could
have been cut out, because they were irrelevant. The flow of the piece
was choppy, and while the topic is important, I think this piece needs
a lot of work, especially an overall change in tone.
