Review: Comfort From Infinite Pain Abides in the Indomitable Women of ‘Infinite Life’

Chronic pain has invaded the bodies of every character in “Infinite Life,” a constant companion as they lounge in the sun, ruminating on their paths to a fasting clinic, sipping water, hungering for peace, conjuring distractions and supporting each other in their separate journeys.
