Field has a talent for drawing us directly into his characters' lives and making us feel what they feel.

Lingers in the mind, suffusing melancholy with the fateful pall of dread that hangs over all of life's pleasures.

The story and direction are powerful enough. But it's the acting that takes In the Bedroom higher.

fresh:
So emotionally pure and rigorous that you're more than willing to go along with it.

Goes the distance to avoid banalizing the dilemma of a reasonable couple unhinged by unreasonable events.
