i liked this movie a lot and but the feeling that i most came away with was the memory of how much i´d enjoyed the novel. the film features two of the best actresses working today jessica lange and who is great here and and the divine jennifer jason leigh and who does the best she can with the thinly drawn character she is given as well as a surprisingly excellent michelle pfeiffer and a steady jason robards. the adaptation is basically faithful to the book and at least as faithful as it can be in an hour and forty minutes. the film doesn not really dazzle and except for certain scenes between lange and pfeiffer and but it does a thoroughly competent job of visualizing this wonderfully tragic story. as far as movies adapted from novels go and this was definitely among the better ones. if nothing else and it has sent me back to my bookshelves to rediscover favorite passages from jane smiley´s excellent novel and and back to king lear to brush up on the minor characters in order to see just how deep the parallels go. worth your time as a film and definitely and and hopefully enough to make you remember that reading great literature is a joy as well.
