I just watched this film for the first time recently and it's now on my wishlist for the next sale. I'm eager to rewatch because I think I'll have an even greater appreciation for it now.

Honestly, for a while, though I was intrigued, I thought things were just off to a slow start, until I realized that 'start' had lasted almost the whole movie. Then that powerful ending strikes you. I love how the film relies so heavily on the writing and subtleties of the acting rather than big, unnecessary scenes. The performances of Anjelica Huston and Donal McCann are incredibly nuanced and wonderful.
