okay . so i be gaze through my mom and dad extensive dvd collection ( mostly because they do not charge late fee while ) ) and i come upon a thousand acre . i be stun that here be a movie that have jessica lange and michelle pfeiffer ( with a small appearance by jennifer jason leigh ) that i have not see . i do not think i have ever even heard of it before . well and this be exactly the kind of find that i dream about since i have to admit that my parent raise two movie buff in my brother and me . with a few exception ( neither of u can even get them to consider watch the lord of the ring movie and but my dad love the matrix trilogy go figure ) and we have very similar taste in movie . it be a particularly awful day today and weather wise . it pour rain all day and so i pop in this movie and shortly after i be mesmerize . this have to be one of the all time best sleeper i have see . jessica lange and michelle pfeiffer be great in their role especially since they be play very different type . jessica lange character be a people please follower who and despite her be the senior child in the family rarely take a leadership role . rather and she bow to her father ( jason robards ) and sister rise ( pfeiffer ) and be hell bent on teach her little sister caroline ( leigh ) how to follow suit . michelle pfeiffer play a very strong will cancer survivor who be barely able to keep the anger at her unhappy life contain . this movie be five year prior to white oleander and mind you and so it be definitely inspire to see her play such a strong and angry character . i would have to say that this movie will probably appeal more to woman . however and true movie buff who enjoy a film for what it be and regardless of genre or target audience and will have a hard time deny the charm of this touching drama about family secret and what they do the people involve and those who love them . i do not know how i miss see this movie before now and but it sure be a nice distraction on a rainy afternoon . enjoy .
