I remember seeing this film when it first came out in 1994 and I loved it immediately. I watched it again, on tape, a couple of years later and watched it recently on DVD. I still feel the same way about it.The characters are all interesting, even the ones with only a few lines, and utterly believable. The way they interact with each other in the various environments,(the bar, the diner, etc, )you can't help but think they all seem to know each other, that they belong there. This is an indication of just how good the acting is and the production as a whole. The snowy setting, Howard Shore's music and Robert Benton's quiet (but very sharp) direction and script all add to the warm atmosphere of the film, and it is one I shall revisit again and again.
