Frances McDormand, Richard Jenkins
Humanistic drama about a depressive woman who steadfastly makes the lives of the people around her miserable...by constant cutting remarks undermining their value.
Tour de force acting by FMD. She evolves as the years pile on, becoming a bit mellower...but just a bit whilst retaining her core personality. She also displays a tender side from time to time...usually away from prying eyes.
Jenkins played her saintly husband believably. There were several clunky moments in the four-hour drama which didn't detract too much from the overall quality of the production.
Ultimately this was a fine character study with a memorable lead performance.
