How on earth did this movie not get all kinds of Oscar consideration? Alfre Woodard's performance ranks up there with the greatest I've ever seen. All the performances are superb, in fact, and I do think this was an unforgettable movie. Dark, yes. Dark as hell, but if one way of evaluating a movie is in how much it affects you emotionally, then this is a true powerhouse. Maybe its intensity and darkness turned too many people off, and so it didn't do any box office and got no award consideration. But isn't the image on the DVD cover (that I presume was also the movie poster) pretty cool?
