Reviews
Romance novel material, albeit it gussied up in a handsome, well-made package.
How many films are about a woman’s sexual awakening? A film that puts a woman’s desire before family without offering a moral judgment or offering a male fantasy?
would make a fine companion piece to Ang Lee's 'The Ice Storm,' another tale of unhappy people trying to find themselves -- or lose themselves -- in other people's beds.
Actor Tony Goldwyn makes a striking directorial debut with the deeply nostalgic, truly heartwarming A Walk on the Moon.
