Beautifully gritty, Powerful, Trance-like, Substantive

Rating: 9/10 (22 October 2000)

What a treat for folks who want some meat on their movies! You'll get sucked into the characters' worlds immediately and feel their pain-- just like you used to before pre-fab, one-size-fits-all film scripts became the norm. While the plot itself is no surprise, watching Burstyn will consume you. A spectacularly directed, photographed and edited film. Even the sound editing is something special. After you've seen the movie, check the web site, which is as different as the film itself.
