---|---|---|---|---|
"Brilliant, lyrical, sensitive, literate and heartbreaking." | ||||
"An uncommonly good movie -- a thriller that transcends thrills to become a heartfelt and heart-stopping personal drama." | ||||
"Todd Field builds his movie with such confident vision that it’s hard to believe this is his feature directorial debut" | ||||
"With performances that will raise the hairs on the back of your head, it's a film that knows the private geography of love, grief and obsession." | ||||
"An astonishingly rich, detailed and grimly moving piece of work. Ms. Spacek's performance is as devastating" | ||||
"Must-see viewing for anyone who complains Hollywood doesn't make movies for grownups." | ||||
"Director/co-writer Todd Field shows us a lot but suggests even more as he finesses a long domestic drama that could have grown unwieldy (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" | ||||
"The story and direction are powerful enough. But it's the acting that takes In the Bedroom higher" |
