Virginia is a mentally unstable woman raising
her teenage son Emmett by herself in a small town. She has also been involved
in a kinky affair for years with the town’s married sheriff, Dick Tipton.
Things really go bad once Emmett starts dating Tipton’s teenage daughter, with
plans to get hitched.
First off, Jennifer Connelly is brilliant in
this film. Her performance is convincing to the max. Ed Harris is not so bad
either. The problem is, the story is all over the map and then some. So many
elements get piled on top of each other that it becomes a giant mess and the
viewer cannot help but lose interest.
Overall, it is a great shame that Connelly’s
excellent performance was wasted in such a bad film.
