Janice Jones

I thought it was beautifully played by all the actors, with a great chemistry between Jones and Streep. The dialogue was very true to life, and very relatable. Although the ending was a little predictable I found it very moving and the performances stopped it being too sentimental.

Extremely high production values, excellent performances and direction, clever script, darkly humorous. I loved the juxtaposition of the superficial perfection of a 1950s suburb pervaded by the hideous imperfection of racism and greed, the innocence of the two children highlighting the ugliness adults create. A must see movie
