In the Bedroom is an engaging and well acted film, though sombre.
The turn of events surprised me a few times here. I love that line by Ruth, that Matt isn't apposed to the relationship because he's getting his fantasy piece of ass through his son's life. I don't know what's to be gotten out of the film exactly, other than a look in at lives affected by tragedy. I'm not sure why Marisa Tomei's character deserved that treatment from Ruth or why Stahl's character said it wasn't serious, when he's living with her, spending time with the kids and dies for her.
Todd Field's next film "Little Children," a masterpiece. Shame he hasn't done more films, with this kind of standard.
