Review of In the Bedroom (2001) by Matthew M — 07 Aug 2012
Featuring some stellar performances from Spacek and Tom Wilkinson, In the Bedroom is a pretty mediocre film in most other aspects. The first 30 minutes or so of the film are quite brilliant, but then it quickly becomes a "been there, done that" sort of film.
The portrayals of grief and anger are handled relatively well for the first half of the film, but the end of the film makes you completely forget how well that first half is handled. The minimalist performances are amazing, but that's easily the best thing about In the Bedroom.
