I think Jessica Lange was amazing and subtly disturbing in her role as Mrs Marshall. The way she called her husband Hank (one of the best performances by Tommy Lee Jones that I've seen) "daddy" was really creepy. However, she supported her man as he supported her. True love may not overcome all, but it seems to handle quite a lot of adversity.
share ~ I thought her performance was outstanding too.
*~~*
Yes, she was simply great in this picture !
shareJodie Foster was better and more memorable in "Nell."
shareI agree... The brilliance of Jodie Foster shines through in Nell... On the other hand, Lange was way over the top in this over melodramatic film.

Hah! Without doubt, "Nell" is one of the worst films and worst performances Jodie was ever involved in. Please, even my lesbian friends make fun of silly "Nell!"
shareI thought the "daddy" thing was great. It showed how completely she possessed him. She was *beep* hot, she knew it, everyone else knew it and she was using her sexuality and sexiness to her advantage. She had her husband (and every other man really :P) wrapped around her little finger. The scene when she and Vince are dancing at the party... holy *beep* you cannot blame the man for wanting to *beep* her.
shareI just saw this movie for the first time last night and I was completely blown away by it. I guess not that big in the theatres but these lil movies like this sometimes leave a bigger impact than the big budget ones. Anyway, Lange was super sexy, sultry and a complete tigress! I loved it and being a big fan of Tommy Lee Jones, I thought he was sexy as well.

Jessica Lange is absurdly sexy in this film, and I was able to relate to many of the themes in this film. I had a long relationship with an extremely attractive girl and one of the hardest hurdles to overcome was the constant advances of other males even my own close friends. Needless to say many a friend turned foe and I learned a valued lesson about the power of sex appeal.
shareBrilliant performance.She is the only actress to win for a film made some four years before.That shows just how powerful Lange is.Nobody could touch her that year.
shareThat's all!

Sometimes when a woman calls her husband "daddy", she call him that because the kids call him that, but in this case, yes, it was far more creepier. The rewatchabilty quotient on this movie is quite high because, and only because, of Jessica's performance. She looks her most beautiful in this film!
Life is too short to expend any energy on anonymous people on a freaking message board.
It's actaully quite common for southern women to call their husbands Daddy.
Ew! Lol
