jay nixon (jjnxn)

Stiff, self important film of a brilliant woman. Greer is fine if a bit grand but the usually wonderful Pidgeon is wooden and declamatory.

Strong central performance by Emile Hirsch does much to offset the difficulity of warming to the main character. It's fine to be a free spirit and have wanderlust but to do so while callously and willfully hurting your family, whatever their faults, is unconscionable.

small film, very well done

a cautionary tale about the insidiousness of evil and the danger of complacency
