(1 - 46) of 46 OFCS Rating: 98% Fresh Page   1   "La base es simple: mostrar sin reparo la visión de una sociedad vengativa y fría, irreflexiva ..."   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez "Hard to top for pure shock value and raw human emotion depicted on screen."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker A "truthful in every detail"   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna "The extraordinary, quiet insight of In the Bedroom is that such belief is not only delusional, but also harmful. Vengeance only makes more victims."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3.5/4 "There have been other films dealing with vengeance and grief, but Field's unpredictable approach makes "In the Bedroom" seem richer and more vibrant."   Lawrence Journal-World   Dan Lybarger 3/4 "Powerful and disturbing."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth 3.5/4 "...one of those rare films that so vividly paints a picture of a community, that afterwards you feel as though you've been there..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair A "It has a genuine feel and empathy for the Maine landscape and its natives."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "The ending has not been clearly thought out by director [Todd] Field, leaving the strength of the picture--the top-notch performances--to appear even more impressive."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 3.5/4 "From subdued study of loss to airtight thriller, In the Bedroom's fascinating lack of closure suggests that grief is eternal."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez A- "Spacek and Wilkinson are dazzling, utterly convincing. You might as well be watching a documentary, for as real as the Fowlers seem."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 4/5 "It's one of the most impressive and intoxicating independent films to arrive on the big screen in a long time."   Filmcritic.com   Frank Ochieng A "Miraculously simple and spare, yet quietly and astonishingly eloquent and moving...It transcends its genre, the rare tearjerker that honestly earns every drop and sniffle."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "A daring and unsettling film about a few of the complex and taboo emotions of grief."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 4/4 "It epitomizes what an American independent film can be when the director is willing to abandon the safety net."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "It speaks to broadly defined themes that are staples of literature and art ... yet it is done intimately, always with an eye on the people who are affected"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3.5/4 "Todd Field has constructed a remarkable first feature, directing with patient, effective pacing and a good eye for detail."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 10/10 "Deeply affected me."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "It's a testament to the cast and crew that they pull that off and create such an engaging, moving and ultimately rather shocking experience."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 4/10 "Not like some films, which can be slow and interesting, this baby is slow, boring, predictable and downright overrated!"   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 8/10 "Beneath every smooth exterior runs an undercurrent of turmoil, unrest, and danger."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 7/10 "Field, like many other actors-turned-directors, elicits great work from everyone in this film."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 3/4 "La película logra lo que pocos dramas de su género, que es hacer interesante un historia digna de cualquier pasquín de pueblo."   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 5/5 "The title implies that the intimacy is sexual in nature; no sexuality could ever cut as close to one?s insides as the words spoken here."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery A "Fields' elegant storytelling is layered with profound details"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 4/5 "Meticulously observed and devastatingly well-acted."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "Even with its flawed finale, In the Bedroom is a powerful experience, but because of its finale, the film does not feel complete."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "Small, personal, and human throughout, this almost uncomfortably raw film stabs you in the heart with emotion."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/4 "Had it not been for the amazing work of the actors, the realistically messy emotional journey would not have been nearly as haunting--and downright harrowing."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 4/5 "My only real complaint about the film is that it seemed much longer than its 130 minutes."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 4/4 "In the Bedroom takes a story that's been told before and makes it fresh by re-telling it realistically."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 4/5 "Em uma indústria comandada por heróis unidimensionais e enredos simplistas, este filme se destaca por não oferecer respostas definitivas para os dramas de seus protagonistas."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4/4 "The best film of 2001."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B+ "the draw to see "In the Bedroom" is the superb acting by the principles"   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "A piece of film that reminds us just how powerful this medium can be."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell 4/4 "An emotionally brutal and laudably ambiguous film that does justice to the sober restraint and taint of truth that informs the best of Dubus' work."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw A- Read review   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov A- Read review   Flipside Movie Emporium   Jeremiah Kipp 3.5/4 Read review   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 4/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 10/10 Read review   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger Read review   In the Dark   Jonathan F.
