I have friends who do not want to see dark movies. Too depressing, given the news these days. I can understand that. But farce grows quite tiresome. Clever repartee is fine sometimes. Action films are frequently exhausting and you can only... Full review

Not that I dont admire the film; it is full of splendid moments, exceptional acting and marvellous technical/creative elements.
While this provides exceptional displays of intense realism in the context of a profound domestic drama, the films drawn out structure and padded development set up expectations that the film doesnt deliver.

And we were able to do most of those things in the film, and that was very exciting for both of us because we talked about doing these things for a long, long time.

In the Bedroom" resonates with the understanding that any loss no matter how great or small has repercussions.
It was a pleasure to see a film that trusts its audience to pay attention and understand its characters.

In fact, it's not until 1 hour and 40 minutes into the film (I checked) that some new interesting action occurs.
I understand what Todd Field, the director, was trying to do here, but for the normal everyday filmgoer, it doesn't fly.

Watching the film at home -- in the bedroom, if you will -- creates a more intimate but no less potent mood.
Yet what really makes ''Bedroom'' are Field's fearless artistic choices, most notably a deliberate pace and a morally ambiguous ending.
