Surfacing from lurkdom after a few exhausting months...
I saw "In The Bedroom" a few weeks ago and was a tad disappointed. It was excellent, but I guess I expected more after all the hype. I love Sissy Spacek, but I'm with Joseph on this one. I thought Tom Wilkinson stole the show. It has a very independent look---very un-glossy, shall we say. I thought it was compelling...but the ending left much to be desired, IMO. Not to give away any details, I thought it could be interpreted many ways which I guess made it more fascinating than a typical, obvious conclusion. It just ended so abruptly, I didn't know whether to feel good about the payback (which I did, actually), or indifferent that it still didn't bring back the couples son--only resulting in even more tragedy. It almost begs for a sequel, to find out if the man was caught and convicted for exacting revenge. Any thoughts? XXXOOO, Billy
