moving film, offers deep catharsis

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2001)

Overall, this is one fine movie, which I reccommend to anyone that loves good cinema, or who has ever experienced the stress of a father living vicariously through his children. The character development is very thorough, and Rush in particular gives an absolutely exemplary performance. It can be slow at times, but what movie with great character development can that not be said of. Moments like Rush's collapse at the piano and his dispondence in the bath tub leave a permanent picture in one's mind. A + film
