      Audience Reviews for Sometimes a Great Notion

      • Feb 24, 2011
        Okay but overlong logging drama would have benefitted by being a half hour shorter. Has a fine cast, with Lee Remick giving the best performance even though her screen time is limited, but they don't have enough to work with. It just should have been more involving.
