Of the $16000 this movie apparently made, 12 dollars were mine. I saw this twice when it first came out. There's something about this movie that is spellbinding. Treat Williams, Laura Dern, Elizabeth Berridge, and Marry Kay Place are perfect in their roles, even if they are more ambiguous than real. Did anything actually happen? Is this "The Turn of the Screw" in California? Maybe I'm reading more into it than exists, but it's worth watching, if only for the acting.
