I just got home from seeing this at the 2003 San Francisco ILGFF. It is an extremely powerful movie by the director of The Hanging Garden and Beefcake. There are some familiar faces like Olympia Dukakis, Parker Posey, and Jane Leeves (Frasier's Daphne Moon). The Event shows many different sides of the issue and does not impose an opinion on you. You will leave the theater discussing the issues and characters with your friends. And that's the mark of a good movie. I don't want to spoil it, just go see it!
