I am a fan of the movie. Not great or anything, but it is a good, interesting and emotionally compelling character driven drama imo. I am very jaded when it comes to drama film. When I watch top quality dramas, as in something like Ordinary People, Terms Of Endearment and The Ice Storm, which set a benchmark for quality family themed films, I can tend to get a bit too nitpicky with something that delivers less than the sum of its parts. I find some t.v. films can deliver some emotional wallops with family drama as well, as in Surviving - 85' with Molly Ringwald and Consenting Adult - 85', with Marlo Thomas and Martin Sheen. So for you there is great drama and meh drama with no in-between? Not every movie has to be some benchmark achievement. Ordinary People is the only one of the 3 movies you mention that I think is great. Far From Heaven is only slightly below Terms of Endearment and The Ice Storm in terms of quality for me. |
