Review of Madison County (2011) by Mike D — 16 Jul 2012

I over-anticipated this movie, certain that it was right up my alley-- good production, simple plot, sufficiently talented cast-- so what happened? Did somebody sabotage the project by tossing the last half of the shooting script into a river? The ending was sloppy and careless, to say the least-- and everything was going so well! It was as though the cast and crew, almost finished, were distracted by something very, very shiny, and simply wandered away.

It also seemed they had no respect for their actual characters. It's a shame-- this one could've been a keeper.
