Stockard Channing's performance


An interesting film, but I think Channing's performance a teeny bit inadequate.

She simply didn't look different enough from before to after Matthew's death. For a mother to suffer a loss like that would be like being raped, degraded and beaten 100 times over. Facial expression, body language, physique, tone of voice -everything would change. She just wasn't convincing.

On the contrary, I thought it was one of the most powerful performances I'd ever seen. Deserving of all the accolades she won for this role.

Judy Shepard is a woman of enormous depth and dignity. Stockard Channing's performance is perfect.
