Very yet not

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2004)

Very emotional. Yet restrained. As such, art gives distance from a very very emotional story.
Beyond that, Greg's review says what needs to be said.
Gena Rowlands is America's Judi Dench. James Garner has gone from superb to great. Quietly. Joan Allen is always, fine. The two kids hit the right note.
Then there are the (trained?) ducks.
In a summer of Spidey, Fahrenreit, and Riddick (which I will see just to see Dame Dench), this is the don't miss.
