Subtitled

In this sly and subdued drama from writer/director Bart Freundlich, Julianne Moore and ER's Noah Wyle star as grown-up siblings who return to their New England home for the traditional Thanksgiving dinner and the almost inevitable airing of family grudges, secrets and emotions. Blythe Danner and Roy Scheider stand out as the overwrought parents, but what is most attractive about the film is that it offers no jaw-dropping revelations or happy-ever-after resolutions. Instead, Freundlich (who is Moore's real-life husband) allows us to draw our own conclusions about the fates of the characters we've met.

Quick plug for this film; Michael Vartan plays Julianne Moore`s brother . :)

I'm surprised i've never hear of this before, it sounds like something I would watch and the fact MV is in it means I'm definitely setting up the video tonight.

It`s one of my favourite films - I`ve got in on DVD and will be watching it on TV anyway ! :blush: Even if it didn`t have MV ( :wub: ) in it, I`d love the film - it`s so well observed and the acting ( from everyone ) is superb - especially from Julianne Moore and Hope Davis, who`s one of my fav. indie actresses. :thumbsup:

Brilliant :thumbsup: Haven't seen this one, definitely be watching. Mmmmm MV :wub:

Oooohhh Michael Vartan :wub: and Noah Wyle in the one film....what more could a girl ask for?!

Thanks for the info!

You are most welcome ! :D

Oooooooh, I'm annoyed that I probably won't get to see this since I can't tape from tv :( and I highly doubt I'll be awake that late but from your recommendations I might be tempted to add that to the list next time I visit Play :thumbsup:

:o You can`t tape from TV at all ? I thought it was just SKY you couldn`t tape.... :blink:

Amazon - The Myth Of Fingerprints DVD

I can only find the film available from one place - Amazon - and it`s a Region 1 DVD... :shrug:

Clicky thing above, if anyone wants it. Be warned, it`s arthouse, so no car chases. ;)

I've seen the first 30mins, got the rest on tape for later. Looks good so far :thumbsup:

Thought it was brilliant. MV looks so young and gorgeous in it :drool:

It`s one of those films which I notice new stuff about each time I see it. :)

Darn it I missed it. How was MV looking? :wub:

Like this:

:drool: :drool: :drool:

I watch everything through Sky cos my tv channels are crap reception since I had Sky installed :( Never mind, only another month and all that will be behind me once I have Sky+ :thumbsup:

:drool: OMG thanks Jae. I can dream happy dreams now

I take it you`re going to do the ` But my video was w**king perfectly before you installed SKY+ ` bit, so that they check all the connections for you ? ;)

There`s another MV film next week ; it`s also showing in the morning of the same day, 1130 - 1315. :)
