tremendous story line

this is a great movie. If your like me and require more than special effects in a movie, you should like this one. This is a very character driven movie, not fast paced. the characters are three diminsional, and the flashbacks to the previous generation make the movie. Never really liking Kris Kristopherson, he really does a tremendous job in is role, as do the rest of the cast; including Chris Cooper and Francis McDormand. Well I might have over did it with this talk of characters...the plot is a mystery in which the sheriff is investigating a thirty year old death. Enjoy!!!

Sometimes the truth is more painful than your memories !

The ancient memories of a beloved father enrich our imagination and many times work out as a filter which does not allow us to see some dark facets and moreover to be unable to watch the painful thruth .
That work of John Sayles is undoubtly , his masterpiece . Some clues , a crude investigation , a challenging retrospective ; a hard search in the unknown documents of the sometimes mericless reality will revel the real essence of a person whom we considered under the awful and persistent human condition in all his wide ugliness .
There is a italian film of the seventies that might have influenced to this ; I am talking about The strategy of the spider of Bernardo Bertolucci (1970) and more recently that film of Costa Gavras : Music box with Jessica Lange . Both films focus that awesome and disturbing argument ; but in the case of this work of Sayles , there is an aditional and rewarded gift to the viewer . The mechanism of the memory and the emblematic and artistic approach employed for the fluidness of the camera work out to the perfection level in this movie .
To me one of the ten best american movies in 1996 .

Like Peeling an Onion...

Like peeling an onion, this film removes layers of history and prejudice one by one to reveal the very core of a small Texas town and the expectations of those who live there. Each layer is connected to those above and below it, and revelations completely flesh out all of the characters whether they are on screen at the time or not. You know what it was like living there 40 years before and 20 years before, just by what is occuring in the present. Just goes to show that there is no telling where the skeletons are hidden when you go digging for them.

Superb storytelling

This movie really took me by surprise. Rented it not expecting much because I hadn't heard much about it. Low-key, no big car chases or explosions (so "Arnold fans" would be disappointed). This is just an extremely well written, well directed, believable mystery that keeps you guessing. Storytelling at it's best
