Melanie G. @MellyG Dec 10, 2025 I love this movie. Wish I could find a way to watch or buy it. See more Steve D @RT35616104 Jan 29, 2024 Strong cast and a mess of a script. See more Mar 7, 2014 Interesting but disgusting at some scenes. See more Jan 22, 2013 Well, this wasn't the western I thought it was... This melodrama does not hold any attention for the viewer. The constant, one tone music is annoying. The acting, the voice overs, none of it is engaging. Neil Patrick Harris is unintentionally hilarious and serves as the film's only reason to watch it. SPOILERS! Here's the entire story of the movie, because this description is much more entertaining that their execution. William Hurt and his wife want a baby, so they hire NPH to knock her up. He does, but falls in love with her. He dies mysteriously and then the wife finds his body in a graveyard and falls into an unfilled grave, smooshing the baby. Kenneth Branagh plays a priest who decides to play detective to see if Hurt killed NPH, but in the investigation has a torrid affair with the wife. She gives birth and dies. Kenneth learns something about faith. The end. See more Sep 28, 2012 A nice movie for a relaxing night. See more Aug 22, 2012 This is a fantastic and overlooked film with deeply moral themes. People either love it or hate it; few point out that there are so many moral themes in its "Mad Men"-style, telegraph-like dialogue, the running time could not do it justice. This should be remade--with its original director--as a mini-series or even a complete series. It is that good. See more Read all reviews
