In the Bedroom (2001)


A New England couple's college-aged son dates an older woman who has two small children and an unwelcome ex-husband.

Slow-paced and subtle crime drama that keeps its focus on the elderly couple's grief than on the actual murder of their son.

Halliwell**: "Compelling drama of marital tensions at breaking point, of prents who have invested their future in their only child; but the violent ending vitiates all that has gone before."

Maltin***: "Quiet, observant film explores how grief effects a longtime married couple and the people around them. Rock-solid performances by all the lead actors."
