Thomas M @Morningstar69 Mar 6 An incredible movie from start to finish. The main characters are superb but the children are extraordinary. A lost classic See more Eric T. @Trules Jan 9 Well written and well perceived story about the trauma of separation and divorce. Beautifully acted. See more Stephen M @Millerste Oct 24 Great actors wasted in a tedious and very heavy-handed movie. I couldn't wait for it to end. The main problem is Finney--not his acting but the character. He is out of control so often that it borders on the ludicrous.And there is the wildly implausible super-melodramatic ending. Pauline Kael says that "you recognize yourself" in this movie What is she talking about?
