Critic Reviews
There are scenes as true as movies can make them, and even when the story develops thriller elements, they are redeemed, because the movie isn't about what happens, but about why.
Read the full reviewThe best movie of the last several years: the most evocative, the most mysterious, the most inconsolably devastating.
Read the full reviewWhen a film as profoundly quiet as In the Bedroom comes along, it feels almost miraculous, as if a shimmering piece of art had slipped below the radar and through the minefield of commerce.
Read the full reviewWith performances that will raise the hairs on the back of your head, it's a film that knows the private geography of love, grief and obsession.
Read the full reviewA lot of actors are labeled "brave" for taking on difficult scripts like this, but Spacek is the real thing: an artist first, without vanity, and a movie star almost by default.
Read the full reviewThe uncoagulated anguish of parents mourning the death of a child has rarely been more powerfully depicted than in the collected vignettes of grief, rage, and retribution that make up the riveting domestic drama In the Bedroom.

In The Bedroom
"Janet Bailey McQuaidThis movie hit home since my nonfiction book had been published called, Security Breach;Murder of Tod McQuaid." However, my story is about my son's murder by three of his employees.I sat and wept like a baby during this movie. I could relate so well as I reaction was so much like Sissy's. My husband commented, "she's stealing your lines!" Everyone that has read my book feels it too should be a movie. No one knows until the hell a parent goes through when losing a child. I lived in a,"hell on earth." This movie deserved the awards it received.. and then some!"
Jose Alfonso Review
"IN THE BEDROOM is a movie of good acting, goood script writing, good everything to me! The movie showed emotiom and realisim. They're (the filmakers) are showing of what--in a way--parents go through after the morn or death of thier child, and someone else's lover. It shows you that a parent would think, "He(she) is suppose to be burrying me! Not me burrying them!" And that's the feeling i got through this film."
