Review of Far from Heaven (2002) by Melian D — 26 Dec 2007

Moving, poignant and quite sad. You feel sorry for everyone involved because the blame for their misery lies not on one person but on society in general--the society that interfered in the "unnatural" coming together of a white woman and a black man and, likewise, the closeted gay man forced to hide himself and live in constant secrecy and self-loathing, shielding himself from a cruel world's ostracization with his innocent family and deceivingly normal life.

The three principals acted beautifully, this is a well-made film that everyone with a heart should experience.
