The Shipping News
The first half hour is a bit difficult to sit through (slow), but once you get through that set up, the rest of the movie is just great. You'd think it would be sappy, but it's not. It's a compeling drama that isn't dramatic. And the subtle humor is just great.
Give it a try if you want a change from crash-boom-bang movies. Or something to watch with the GF.
Description:
Academy Award®-winning stars Kevin Spacey (American Beauty, Best Actor) and Judi Dench (Shakespeare in Love, Best Supporting Actress) join talents with Julianne Moore (Hannibal) and Cate Blanchett(The Lord of the Rings) in this deeply moving motion picture from the director of Chocalat and The Cider House Rules! After tragedy strike Quoyle (Spacey) moves with his daughter from upstate New York to his ancestral home in a small Newfoundland fishing village. With a job at the local newspaper and a developing romance with a woman (Moore) who lives with her own demons, Quoyle is transformed by this place of magic, beauty and hardship. In a compelling story based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel, Quoyle's past melds with his present in an inspirational journey of self-discovery and second chances.
