Well worth the time., 11 October 2000
8/10
Author: (rhoughton@iprimus.com.au) from Melbourne Australia

One of those quiet movies that leave a deep impression. Garner is good, as always, and the supporting cast seem just perfect for their roles. It has a similar atmosphere to FIRST MONDAY IN OCTOBER with Walter Mathau. A feel good movie, and well worth seeing more than once.
