i do not know about spoiler but all those cynical negative comment might spoil my pleasure if i be easily influence or if i let them and so my simple advice to any film lover be represent just watch it and you might just enjoy it . i certainly do . i do not wish to say anything about the plot and the character and the acting and film quality except this represent jessica lange be great a the seemingly sweet and soft mother and gwynneth paltrow be thoroughly convincing a the frail bride and mother to be and jonathan schaech be at least adequate and the plot be haunt and so yes and i repeat and just watch it and enjoy it . one of the most gripping movie i have ever see . ( manlyn and a viewer in switzerland ) .
