In the Bedroom | Ratings & Reviews

"An uncommonly good movie -- a thriller that transcends thrills to become a heartfelt and heart-stopping personal drama."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"A serious drama about violence and morality that plays out with a fatalistic intensity somewhere between Greek tragedy and film noir."

SalonSalon

"The film unfolds its true story, which is about the marriage of Matt and Ruth--about how hurt and sadness turn to anger and blame. 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."

Roger EbertRoger Ebert

"If only all debuts were this good. Low-key, but emotionally devastating, former actor Todd Field's first movie is a superbly-crafted examination of family rifts, grief and the lengths to which one will go to appease a guilty conscience. It's also a scathing critique of the U.S. legal system."

Empire MagazineEmpire Magazine

"The surehandedly wrought, beautifully acted, almost unbearably tense In the Bedroom is a rare film, not to be missed."

Boston GlobeBoston Globe

"The story and direction are powerful enough. But it's the acting that takes In the Bedroom higher."

The Washington PostThe Washington Post

"Intense, superbly acted chamber piece."

BBCBBC

"Goes the distance to avoid banalizing the dilemma of a reasonable couple unhinged by unreasonable events."
