Starring: Jeff Bridges (Ted Cole), Kim Basinger (Marion Cole), Jon Foster (Eddie O’Hare), Elle Fanning (Ruth Cole), Mimi Rogers (Evelyn Vaughn)

Ruth leaves Ted and her daughter, Ruth, taking all the pictures in the house with her. She makes arrangements with Eddie so that he could break the news to Ted. The night before Eddie leaves, Ted reveals to him what happened on the night their 2 sons, Thomas (Tod Harrison Williams) and Timothy, died (Carter Williams). While driving in the snow at night, a snowplower had accidentally plowed through half their car, killing Thomas and Timothy instantly. Eddie leaves the next day. Ted hires Evelyn’s old gardener (whom she had fired) and his family to run his house and take care of Ruth.

Comments?
A deep, complext film with sscar-worthy performances by Jeff Bridges and Kim Basinger. The film realistically portrays the devastating effects of how heartbreaking tragedies (in this case, losing children) can affect a marriage and the individuals in the marriage. Each person reacted differently. Bridges as Ted Cole reacted by distancing himself from his wife and daughter by drowning himself in his work and being with other women. Basinger as Marion Cole simply withdrawed from her family, not feeling anything…definitely worth checking out this flick.
