I just caught this film on cable and I have a sense that I am going to remember it fondly for years to come, even though the screenplay and direction of this movie are so laughably bad. (It's going to be one of those 'Am I crazy or did I once actually see a movie about...?' kind of memories). Marcia Gay Harden gives the performance she should have won her first (or would it have been her second?) Oscar for and Juliette Lewis is worth seeing too -- she plays against type for once, and though she barely succeeds, it's certainly fun to watch. The young actress playing Delilah also makes it worth sitting through the horrible dialog, ridiculous voice-over narration and the damage Seidelman did to Judy Davis' performance (which I have to assume would have been better in a more capable director's hands). All in all, a failure, but one I HEARTILY recommend. I actually think I may go out and add it to my DVD collection.
