Sigourney Weaver (Alien; Gorillas in the Mist) & Julianne Moore (Children of Men; The Hours) star in this drama based on the novel of the same name by Jane Hamilton. Directed by Scott Eliott, and co-starring David Strathairn, Arliss Howard, Chlo Sevigny & Louise Fletcher, this is the story of school nurse Alice Goodwin (Weaver) who lives with her husband and two daughters on a dairy farm in a small Wisconsin community. After a fatal accident on her property involving the daughter of her friend Theresa Collins (Moore), the town turns against her and then to make matters even worse, she finds herself fighting charges of child abuse after an incident at her school Boasting strong, compelling performances from both female leads and strong support from Strathairn as Alice’s husband Howard, it’s a shame this powerful film isn’t that well-known. * TRIVIA: * Sigourney Weaver was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her performance here. * Eminent film critic Roger Ebert gave the film three and a half out of four stars, praising the performances, and likening it to such movies as Being John Malkovich and Three Kings in “being free–in being capable of taking any turn at any moment, without the need to follow tired conventions”.
