    This is one mess of a movie. Starting from the premise that the sins of the mother are visited on the lives of her sons, it's hard to be interested in or empathize with any of these underdeveloped, dysfunctional characters.

    I was sorry to see that an actress of Bisset's abiity would get sucked into this drivel. The acting was very good but the characters were never realy developed so that the viewer understood why (except for BIsset) they were doing what they did. The oldest son was so much of a self-centered creep, that I found I didn't really care what happened to him. I continued to watch until the end, hoping that somehow, somewhere, the son's behavior would make sense.
