This is such a strange movie. The tone shifts constantly from one of blistering sexuality to down home let's have us a wedding. Don't get me wrong, I liked it. I thought the acting was great by all parties. It just shifted so quickly from having a ramped up barrel of a gun showdown to a pre-marriage counseling session, it was hard to know what kind of movie I was watching. Good blues soundtrack though!

I found both the writing style and the plot very un-Atwood like. I missed the usual sharp wit and turns of phrase that characterizes her writing. I can understand why the parts narrated by the two young girls might lack that biting tartness, but Aunt Lydia should have shown more sharpness and dry humour. I'd have to rate this as my least favourite of all Atwood's book, and probably the only one I'll never be tempted to reread.
