This is kind of a movie, that could easily go "down", if the performance ( or a choice ) of main actors wouldn't be on such a high level. Jessica Lange is persuasive in every way and some scenes are so realistic, that it makes you think if she is just playing the role; Tom Wilkinson is constantly good, although the story sometimes seems a little bit unrealistic( but on the contrary people's respond is SOOO realistic!). The movie is really funny at the times, because dramatic and comedy elements fit together almost perfectly. I wrote almost perfectly, because if the movie would have that final spin, that final 10 minutes of "revelation" (that is needed to finalize the whole meaning of a story ), the movie would be a Cannes winner at least.
In every way the movie is great fun to watch, the play is brilliant, but the ending is somehow lacking of logical conclusion.
