| | You Won't Be Sorry | fringedweller 03/06/2007 | It's a graceful, quality movie, that's simply beautiful to watch.
It's a tale about social constraints, and how some people always seem to be caught up in them, while others seem to have an inner compass or knowingness that to steer clear of restraints is what's right for them...and in small towns life one often has to pay a price for not buying into prevailing attitudes of the day.
If this is a morality tale, it's at least told in a thouroughly entertaining, 'non-lectury' way. |
