i remember when this film come out and and watch it a few time on vhs . i be so glad when it be finally release on dvd . i be hop for widescreen and but at the point would take what be available . i love how they use color in the film and the outdoor scene be so alive with color . the tree be the green i have ever see . most of the film be shoot in stillwater and minnesota and a beautiful town locate on the st. croix river . they must have really scout location for filming and because they do a great job . the story be well write and and direct . i would rate this a one of peter horton best . i be also surprised that andrew dintenfass ( the director of photography ) hasn not do more . he do an incredible job . the acting also rate up there . it amaze to see two actor of such a young age pull off this type of film . annabella sciorra do a great job a dexter mother . who wouldn not want her a a mother .
