 Clips 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 1995 - directed by Diane Ladd written by Diane Ladd based on the book by Ella Leffland Diane Ladd (Rose Munck) Bruce Dern (Patrick Leary) Kelly Preston (Young Rose) Shelley Winters (Aunt Monica) Jim Walton (Harley) Scott Fisher (Felix) |
A wronged woman takes revenge on her wheelchair bound husband. |
"It works! Emotional wallop. An uproarious love story of bitter heartache and sweet revenge … Directing-writing debut of three-time Oscarä Nominee Diane Ladd. TERRIFIC DIALOGUE! STUNNING, BREATHTAKING FILM! Ladd is grisly funny in the title role, and the film is surprisingly effective as psychodrama, getting a special bite out of the casting of Ladd's own real ex-husband, Bruce Dern, who stars with a magnificent performance in the part of the captive male. Both actors should receive a nomination … piercing performances by a superb supporting cast - Shelley Winters and Kelly Preston … Mrs. Munck in it's own way, successfully mines some of the same terrain as The Bridges of Madison County! Of the 200 films at the festival - one of this reviewer's ten PERSONAL FAVORITES!" - William Arnold (Seattle Post Intelligencer) |
"This reviewer hasn't been made to feel so personally vulnerable since Woody Allen's Husbands and Wives! Ladd, BRILLIANT! Dern, performance of a LIFETIME! Kelly Preston - EXQUISITE! Shelley Winters - NATIONAL TREASURE! Beautiful, brave, touching! A film one experiences rather than just watches!" - Tom Allen (Movie Maker Magazine) |
