Review of Ordinary People (1980) by Brad S — 01 Mar 2015
I only had time to watch the last 20 minutes before it expired from Netflix Instant tonight. But what struck me on this viewing is how great the editing is with those quiet flashback scenes intercut with characters processing the memories.
The images just feel so authentic and emotional. Powerful stuff that holds up 35 years later. And of course the performances are still fantastic. The film is a little heavy handed at times, but for the most part, it holds me and brings me into this damaged world in such a strongly relatable way.
