Review of Absence of Malice (1981) by Sarah H — 03 May 2007
A slow, studied film about the ethics of journalism, with solid performances by the leads - and, unfortunately, a rather pat storyline. Everything fits a little too easily, everyone forgives a little too quickly.
Sally Field's character keeps making the same mistake, over and over, and barely gets called out on it. Still, the film doesn't deserve to have been completely forgotten in the way it has.
