Riveting performances... another Ron Howard winner!

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2001)

This was quite simply one of the finest movies I've seen in years. It's been released rather quietly, but it should be at or near the top of everyone's "must see" list for this holiday season.
I knew nothing about the movie's plot before I sat down to watch it. That's rare treat these days for most moviegoers. So, it was fascinating to watch it unfold with no expectations.
This is a pure character study that keeps you wondering which direction it will take throughout the film. Don't miss it.
