    I wish I had written the brilliant screenplay for this film, which had incredible acting and fabulous directing and would, if audiences and the film industry valued wit and transformation, clean up at the oscars. The absolutely best thing about this film is that it's like a hall of mirrors: the unexpected or apparently unfortunate or unwanted events all turn out for the best. It's like Serendipity with a less saccharine flavor. Nobody gets what they want--thank goodness; there is a conspiracy--one of love and redemption; against all odds and reason, the family members love each other and stick together; and, not unusually, the people who are crazy are the ones who are walking free. Having married into a working class family from PA, I can attest to the authenticity of the characters and situations and performances. Favorite moments: literary analyses of Hemingway and Golding (what is it with the modern era and suicidal or deeply traumatized writers sharing their misery???). A must see.
