recommended. Some might say its slow, I'd like to say its involving and worth the time investment, over 3 hours, in the long run (lots of backstory.)

With a cast composed of:
Paul Newman (out of character)
Ed Harris
Joanne Woodward
Jimmy Smits
Robin Wright-Penn
Dennis Farina
Helen Hunt
Aidan Quinn
Phillip Seymour Hoffman (who again, is simply fantastic in a very understated performance)
And a couple of teen actors who have very good futures in the industry

Some small town, dirty secrets, Twin Peaks elements, but not the over the top storyline, plus it was all pulled together at the end.
