In the Bedroom(dir. Todd Field)
The first hour and 20 minutes are practically perfect. After that, not so much. It still remains good, but I can't help shake the notion that it took a dive in quality, which is disappointing. When it becomes a thriller near the end, the shift feels iffy. I guess you can say it has some of the same problems as Dancer in the Dark in that the material is good at first and gradually gets worse, but unlike that film, you never feel the actions on screen are implausible. It it is still kind of unsatisfying. Good movie.
*** out of ****
