watching this now..


i caught the beginning of it channel surfing and decided to tivo it... now that im watching it. my heart is in my throat. i expected him to catch her when she was cutting her hair... and then when he came home after she missed his ceremony.. ugh.

i dont know how the rest of the movie is yet.. but i keep anticipating her getting caught and freaks me out.

It is a tense movie agreed! I won't *spoil* anything don't worry, but the ending to the film is actually better than the book's ending.
The book tells a lot more backstory about Fran and Bobby though. Its a good read.

I think Robert was only gone about 3 years, as her child Grace Ann looked about that age. Robert would be about 14 or 15 I guess. I wondered myself why Robert took SO LONG TO CALL HIS MOM! I mean, didn't he know she missed him? Maybe Bobby told him she died, but its hard to believe he'd buy that.
In the book, there is a different ending. *spoilers ahead for the book*
In the book, Frannie never finds Robert. She suspects he calls a couple times, but he hangs up. Its very sad. Fran even confronts her ex-mother in law, but to no avail.
Its never explained how Bobby escapes and hides with Robert though.
