This film fully deserves its Oscar-nominations and let's hope the academy will reward it. Because it doesn't happen that often that you go see a drama in a movie-theatre, without having any second thoughts. This is just a brilliant piece of cinema with a great plot and wonderful acting. Spacek and Wilkinson stand out as the parents coping with a great loss and trying to handle their emotions. 'In the Bedroom' never gets overly sentimental. It just plainly registers the situation without taking sides. 9/10
