Review of Sometimes a Great Notion (1971) by Scott M — 26 Sep 2011
A decent family drama with good performances from Paul Newman and Henry Fonda. It also has one of the most horrifying deaths on screen I've ever seen, especially given its emotional weight in the story.
The plot is kind of pointless and not very well defined (something about a logging union strike), but the family dynamic between all of the main characters comes through just fine, making this worth watching.
