Infuriating story of a small town nurse (Sigourney Weaver) who is accused of sexual abuse on a child right on the heels of a toddler's accidental drowning on her property. Tepid film of Jane Hamilton's book, directed by Scott Elliott as if he were doing a movie-of-the-week. Weaver's central performance is iffy, and overall the film is hampered by her character's screwy behavior which is never in her own best interest. Isolated sequences have a feeling of truth, but the depth of emotion just isn't there. Supporting players David Strathairn and Julianne Moore do what they can, but the film is strictly one-dimensional. *1/2 from ****
