An amazing and courageous movie. Phenomenal story plot. Here is an endearing movie that will leave you a bit teary-eyed. Great cast- Jessica Lange, Michelle Pfeiffer, Colin Firth, Jason Robards, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Definitely worthy.
A story of familial dysfunction,loyalty and betrayal.Reminded me of King Lear.Stellar casr and a very good adaptation of the book.
The movie was actually better than the book (which I forced to read!) It had all the power the author wanted to express because of Lange and Pfeiffer who were devastatingly good. The supporting cast were good too but its intially the main two leads that steal the show
No recent reviews.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "A Thousand Acres" !
