Bought and watched this tonight on the basis of reviews from another thread.

Dh thought it was utter crap and was cross with me for spending money on it.

I thought it was very well put together, and the mother in it should have had an Oscar. Very depressing though.

Not seen the film yet (I know it's ages old!) but absolutely love the soundtrack. Very haunting.

Yes, very depressing and sad. All those "dreams" turned into nightmares. I don't think I could watch it again.

The mother (Ellen Burstyn) was nominated for an Oscar but lost to Julia Roberts for Erin Brockovich. Travesty!

I saw it about 10 years ago. Is one of the most harrowing films I think i've ever seen. Absolutely amazing acting and soundtrack but could never bring myself to watch it again.

The Kronos Quartet did the music that eventually became the soundtrack to The Lord of the Rings. Astounding.

i thought it was a really good film - harrowing in most parts but very well worth watching.
