It's a miracle when a small film gets made and it's not some self-absorbed piece of trash nor too artsy to have a broader appeal. This film walks the fine line between banality and boring.
Even if you aren't religious, you can get something out of this film. It really speaks to the power of faith and love, as well as the dangers of desire both expressed and repressed. It speaks of the depth of despair and how each of us deals with it. I am inclined to read the book from which it was derived.
Every performance is delightful and as a Vincent D'Onofrio fan it was a joy to see him in a "normal" character for a change. I did find it amusing that he played Lily Taylor's father in this film and few years earlier played her boyfriend.
I just want to say that the honeymoon scene is well worth it for any fan girrrrls of D'Onofrio, which I am a rabid one. He looks great and plays the horny gentle butcher to perfection, as he does every part he plays.
Watch this film even if you aren't a fan of some of the actors.
