In the Bedroom
2001
***½
Director: Todd Field
Cast: Tom Wilkinson, Sissy Spacek, Marisa Tomei, William Mapother, Nick Stahl
Tom Wilkinson and Sissy Spacek play parents whose young son dates a divorced mom whose unpredictable ex isn't making their lives easy. The film starts off as a subtle family drama, then after a shock twist it becomes a story about grief, but it ultimately ends in a disappointing way. The performances are all excellent. Based on an Andre Dubus short story Killings.
