Lane C Mar 15 Surprisingly addicting film. It's a quiet, yet powerful movie based on William Faulkner's story "OLD MAN". I was so sure I would be bored, but it was just as compelling as any "edge of your seat" drama. The ending is worth the wait.

It's deeply feeling, hauntingly filmed and without sentimentality. I have it on VHS and wish it were available on DVD. See more Read all reviews
