      steve d Strong Adaptation with some really good performances. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member (**): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] I found this to be way over-the-top, even for my taste. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Literally one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The film brought together what seems like it would be an interesting cast, but they don't work well together. The overacting is painful to watch and it's poorly made. It's really just a depressing movie in general. (First and only viewing - In my mid-twenties) Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Compelling actors all. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member GOOD COMING OF AGE DRAMA SET IN THE DEPRESSION BY SAM SHEPARD. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com A cast of eccentric charcater actors (James Woods, Kathy Bates) brings class but no emotional resonance to Sam Shepard's 1977 play, an ironic dissection of the American Dream as it affects and destroys a white farming family.
