A New England Classic!

This remains my all-time favorite film. This film penetrates so sharply, so profoundly, that I've seen it at least 20 times! In my view, it's a coming out party for Tom Wilkinson. He is absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Director Todd Field does such a wonderful job arching the story. I especially enjoyed the on-screen chemistry between Wilkinson and Spacek. Their scenes together are both explosive as well as moving. What compliments the film nicely, is Thomas Newman's sweeping score. He really is masterful at capturing 'moods'. This is a must see for any 'real' film buff. A!
