I watched this for the first time in a couple of years the other day...what an INCREDIBLE movie! Plus, I never realized John Dossett and Brent Barrett were both in it...
Heartbreaking and moving and touching and just wonderful...fabulous cast, too. Campbell Scott is excellent.

Posted: 2/26/05 at 1:03amA great film, but I can't watch it again - too depressing. I've lost WAY too many friends since it came out.

Posted: 2/26/05 at 8:24amThis was such an amazing movie. I was very dissapointed when Bruce Davison lost the Best Supporting Actor Oscar to Joe Pesci, who wasn't even half as good as him. I can't make it through this movie without crying a little.

This shows up on cable every once in a while. It's always one of those movies I'll stop and watch if I see it's on. Top-notch acting by everyone in the cast!
If you've never seen it, it really is a must.
And yes, Bruce Davison was robbed!

Without crying a little? It's buckets for me. This is the kind of work that makes Craig Lucas a genius. And a great cast to boot - Mary Louise Parker - gotta love her.
