But how do you
describe the depth of the film without giving too much away?
I’ll do this as
gently as possible. In the Bedroom is a simple, painful
story about love and loss and the depths to which both can
drive people. In the Bedroom offers two of the most
compelling performances you will ever see by Tom Wilkinson
and Sissy Spacek and adds on strong turns by the
entire cast, especially Marisa Tomei and Nick Stahl.
In the Bedroom draws as real a picture as I have ever
seen on screen of how we treat one another when put to the
test. Now, don’t tell me later that I suggested it was fun.
It isn’t. But in a Sundance year where death and suffering
are in great abundance, this film stands out for me.
