No, this is NOT a porno movie. Despite the somewhat misleading title, In the Bedroom is a disturbing little film that keeps you guessing until the unconventional end. Sissy Spacek and Marisa Tomei (even though she wasn't in the film as much as you might think) are both excellent, though the real star of the film is Tom Wilkinson. If anyone beats out Oscar favorite Russell Crowe, it will be Wilkinson. His portrayal of the gentle father and husband pushed to the edge is mesmerizing. Even though the film drags in several places, I thought In the Bedroom was very effective.
