Sissy Spacek and Tom Wilkinson are poignant in this film. The best scenes are when they would fight with or without using words. Both cannot be any more opposite on the way they grieve, which made it all the more interesting. Even though the movie is more than two hours long, I was completely drawn to it because it made me root for the two main characters even if they deliberately decide to make decisions that could ultimately corrupt them. Nick Stahl is as charismatic as ever, and I completely believed his characters' amiable nature. This film raises a lot of questions regarding morality and it's worth pondering over even after the credits stopped rolling.
