Review of In the Land of Women (2007) by Enrica C — 29 Jan 2011
Meg Ryan was amazing, giving her best performance in years making her character more than someone to be pitied. Adam Brody makes Carter into a sympathetically vulnerable figure who, at the same time, can display a surprising amount of strength and intestinal fortitude when the situation calls for it.
Kristen Stewart beautifully captures Lucy's angst and vulnerability as a teenager defining her self. Olympia Dukakis is brilliantly subtle as Grandmother Phyllis. The plot is simple, but it's beautiful to see the way people change and react over different problems in life, like love, illness and death.
A bittersweet and moving movie.
