This is one movie meant for the traveling person. The movie is very subtle, yet very interesting. You can do lots of things when you're traveling, and a book would be very good as well. The cast of the movie were well picked. William Hurt(Children of a Lesser God) and Geena Davis(Tootsie and countless others to name a few) really play out their role in the movie very well I say. Losing a child to crime is more disheartening than losing it to disease. Learning to cope is a must, but when a spouse has trouble coping, things can go from bad to worse. Macon(Hurt) has these siblings who need more of guidance than he does. When he meets Muriel(Davis), he opens up, and makes him feel more alive. She also helps him cope and get more into life. Sarah(Kathleen Turner) is always vivacious in any film. But her character is weak because that's what she is. Simply by letting the world get the better of her. This movie is about moving on. Some people know how to move on in life after a tragedy, some don't. To me, this movie has really gone to the dogs. Somewhat. But I don't mean it in a bad way. Rating 2 out of 5 stars.
