Far From Heaven. The script is rather over the top in 1950isms, but the movie addresses some important social issues - "homosexuality", racism, segregation, patriarchy, domestic abuse, conformity, etc. It's rather well acted for the most part, but I didn't think Dennis Quaid was very believable, or perhaps that's what most wealthy men in Connecticut in the 50's were like (reserved, and somewhat mechanical). Some scenes really brought out a lot of emotions. I think it's definitely worth seeing. Actors: Julianne Moore, Dennis Quaid, Dennis Haysbert, Patricia Clarkson, Viola Davis, etc.
