I fell into this movie so easily, as if it were an old friend. Hooray for somewhat predictable, the kind of snuggle into the blankets, "I found a good movie!" predictable. The story is told with sensitive beauty. I could not leave the room. Skeet Ulrich and Keri Russell take their time with every emotional advancement, the farmhouse is photogenic, the land is stunning, I loved the old truck and the eventual presence of the dog in the house. Everything you wished would happen, happened. Family love, great farm food, a barn dance, excellent costume work. If you've got that yearning for an hour and a half immersed in rural gorgeousness and no violence, this is for you.
