Strong characters played by strong actors.
good bones, but a few too many annoyances and about a half hour too long to call it great
Small town sadnesses and small life yearnings. Excellent, spiraling performance from Nolte, cold, icy images from Schrader.
Nolte and Coburn are the emotional center of this movie and their performances really work. Strong stuff.
Dark tale of growing up with an abusive father. Brilliant performances by Nolte and Coburn and an understated Defoe make it worth watching.
Amazing movie about generational trauma with career performances for Nolte and Coburn and a great supporting performance from Spacek
Schrader makes an intriguing character study anchored by some great performances. Haunting atmosphere as generational trauma is explored.
Strong actors playing intriguing characters, balanced out with a fantastic plot. Amazing.
Dark but brilliant character study with fantastic performance from Nolte
Good movie, but too grim to be rewatchable.
