lib-4 Review of A Thousand Acres

A Thousand Acres (1997)

Sometimes a gift is a burden

[6/10 · 6 July 1999]

Not even a great cast can save this maudlin movie. The book was very good, but the movie is sappy and long and boring. I don't understand why they never told Caroline of her father's unspeakable sins. The book deserved better.
