This was a very well done movie. This family was quite dysfunctional. The Father didn't want anyone like the neighbors to know this, although he is the main cause for it in my opinion. The Mother, is in a catatonic state of mind my guess is from losing her firstborn male child as a baby, killed as he falls into Niagara falls. My guess is this is when she started drinking, and I am guessing she didn't cut back enough on the drinks as she had 3 Daughters in close sucession. The oldest, while very pretty is a bit overweight and I am not sure but I think something happened when her Father took her out to learn to drive, not exactly sure, but I am thinking maybe her Father did something of a sexual nature to her. He was drunk like usual, and it was during a scene in the movie when the middle rebel Daughter was having an LSD trip with her boyfriend and they were fooling around, and the youngest Daughter was caught up in an unwanted threesome with her married very older boyfriend. So after the driving lesson she runs to her friends house, and this girl really likes her alot, and they end up slow dancing so I am thinking she would rather be with another girl. Anyways all this going on when the climax of the movie is starting to happen with the poor Mother. I liked this movie because it really took the viewer back in time. Everything was done so well. Better than any other movie I have seen trying to replicate that era. The way the people spoke, the hairstyles and clothes were spot on (the Moms housecoats Oh my!! That quilted satin...) the girls slippers, the cars, bicycle, furniture, paneling music,school......I could go on and on it was perfect. Kind of dreamy also. Done real good.
