Penn's Performance is Great but Morton steals the show

Rating: Null/10 (12 March 2000)

I just watched this movie earlier today and I liked it. Sean Penn just proves once again that he is one of the finest actors of his generation. His performance of Emmett Ray is mesmerising, comic, sad and most certainly memorable. Morton, however, really steals the show for me. Although she does not verbally speak a word the entire movie, her eyes and facial expressions communicate in a way that is unique and touching. This is not a great movie but it is an enjoyable trip back in time that shows how much things have changed during the 20th century.
