This is an almost cringe-makingly detailed trip through middle-class confusion in 1970s Connecticut, beautifully adapted from Rick Moody's highly-regarded novel by Lee's regular producer James Schamus.

Unique and subtle depiction of the unraveling of families set in a time when nothing was as they used to be.

En af de bedste amerikanske indie-film. Ikke en humør-spreder, men dælme god!

En av Ang Lees allra finaste och mest drabbande filmer. Tristessen i förorten och dramatiken mellan vänner och grannar. Kom före American Beauty som förfinade temat om ”köttets lust och själens obotliga ensamhet”…
