Paul Lemay

Gripping story of a young boy thrust into the maelstrom of his dysfunctional family. Bruce Dern is the father & grandfather I vowed never to be, and Genevieve Bujold is riveting as the wife who gives as good as she gets. Stunning in its stark bluntness and understated dialogue, it's a gem.

Powerful, shot in a 1960's-noir style, much like theatre productions of that time that aired live on TV. Kate Winslet's portrayal was scary and hypnotic, and even Jim Belushi made you feel sorry for him. Justin Timberlake as narrator really worked. Woody does it again.
