Movie No. 77 (2016): IN THE BEDROOM

In The Bedroom (2001)
Director: Todd Field
Cast: Sissy Spacek, Tom Wilkinson, Marisa Tomei, Nick Stahl

Great movies demand multiple viewings. This is second time to have seen it. The first time was in 2002. Now, fourteen years after, certain images from the movie still stay with me. So, I have to see it again. This recent viewing gives me more reason to like the movie. Indeed, it is a great movie.

In The Bedroom is one of those movies that examine grief without resorting to ridiculous melodrama. Maybe, it takes great actors (Sissy Spacek, Tom Wilkinson, Marisa Tomei) to portray the calculated depth required for their respective characters. The narrative flow is sublime.

Rating: 4.0/4.0
