I enjoyed the first half of this movie a lot more than the 2nd half. From what starts off as a compelling story that keeps you guessing about where the story is taking you, it devolves into a predictable conclusion that takes way too long to get to.

The plot, directing and the acting is not bad. I emjoyed watching it. The ending was alittle silly sort of ruined the story. I don't know if it deserved so many nominations. If you haven't seen 'Ordinary People' yet, it is a better alternative to this movie.

This was the worst film I've seen in sometime. How it could win any award much less an Oscar is beyond me. It is unbeleivably slow and predicatble. I kept thinking go on dad have done with it. The acting was OK, but no way oustanding. Save your money folks, staring at your wall would be more entertaining.

The most over rated movie of the decade. Their publicist deserves a raise. First, all characters are lacking credibility except Sissy Spacek. The father is acting more like a fisherman than a doctor. Todd Field, being an actor himself, do not know how to direct other actors. Ex. Marisa Tomei seems totally lost in this story. She never knows if she should laugh,cry, explode or shut up. The story is so predictible including the ending. There is no real emotion in this film. All the characters are cold without any dimension just like the photography. How can you miss the spectacular Maine seaside in a movie. The light is dull as well as the story itself. In the Bedroom could have been a TV movie but again who would have watch it to the end.

This movie is vastly overrated. Sissy Spacek does give a great performance as the mother who suffers tragedy. But the story itself is nothing exceptional and I kept saying to myself: when is something really interesting going to happen? As Entertainment Weekly said about its Oscar prospects as best picture: it will suffer from the "so what" factor. I agree. Best Actress perhaps for Sissy Spacek (although I think Halle Berry deserves it for Monster's Ball) but this is definitely NOT best picture material. 7/10
