Adapted from a written work by the wonderful Andre Dubus. It deals with grief, which, like depression, is an internalized struggle that one so often fights alone. Here we see the devastating effect that it has on a marriage. The tiny cracks in a relationship that turn into potholes, the resentment and blame that arise when a child is killed. It’s heartbreaking stuff that Todd Field (in his directorial debut) manages to explore without overdoing the sentimentality. It’s a quiet movie, even in the midst of terrific arguments (I recall a particularly powerful scene with Sissy Spacek washing dishes) which always underlined for me the unspeakable nature of the sorrow these characters are facing. Quietly magnificent.
