STRONG COLLABORATIVE PRODUCTION...UNDERRATED & IGNORED...ONE OF THE BEST IN ITS CLASS
4 August 2021
This Stephen King Sourced Story also has the "King" Co-Authoring the Script.

With the Talented Tony Gilroy...Directed-Wrote "Duplicity" (2009)..."Michael Clayton" (2007)...Screen-Play "The Bourne Series"..."Rogue One" A Star Wars Story" (2016)

Director Hackford has Done some Fine Films..."Ray" (2004)..."Devil's Advocate" (1997).

But Topping-Off All of the Collaborations are Stellar Performance Across the Board...

Lead By Kathy Bates (her personal fave and perhaps her best)

Jennifer Jason Leigh...Michael Straithran Christoper Plummer... Judy Parfitt

Outstanding Cinematography, Atmospheric Locations, and Good Score (Danny Elfman)

It's a Combination of Film-Art Coalescing to Deliver High-Powered Melodramatic Personal Cinema at its Best.

Family Drama...Chick-Flick...Slice-of-Life...

This one Transcends the Labels to Rise as one of the "Best-In-Class',

Highly Over-Looked, Unseen, Underrated, and Undeserving the Neglect.

The Film's Profundity Stays With You.

The Story Takes-On some Tuff Stuff...

Spousal Abuse...Child Sexual Abuse...Work-for-Hire Servitude...Slanted Law Enforcement...Age Related Accelerated Decrepitude

Be Prepared for a...

Must-See.
