though this movie be somewhat slow and predictable it bring out the bad side of jessica lange . she have an outstanding performance a the evil mother in law to gweneth paltrow . i have never see her in a role as evil a this one . i believe that gweneth show the strength and heart of her character . she lose both her parent and be mug in her own home and then stand up to her mother in law to prove to her husband what an evil person his mother be . way to go . personally i like this movie . what the movie doesn not bring out right away be the length that martha will go to take the baby and keep her son on the farm . this movie be one of the best suspense movie that i have see in a while .
