    A scrupulous and impeccably acted account of the fallout from a family secret.

    Downbeat but ultimately hopeful, it's a domestic tragedy that cuts clearly to the bone, finding emotional nuance among the family's knotty secrets and dense layers of subterfuge.

    If von Carolsfeld had worked more surprises into her style and presentation, Marion Bridge wouldn't live down to its genre stereotype so readily.

    When the family's dark secret is finally revealed, it's a shock, because the way Louise(Stacy Smith) and Rose(Marguerite McNeil) treat their younger sister is not what you'd expect. Agnes(Molly Parker), you would think, deserves a free pass to act as wayward as she wants to be. You would be doing coke and drinking like a fish too with a father like Agnes'. There's never an open discussion if the family's patriarch acted inappropriately with the two older girls. "Marion Bridge" is so low-key, the viewer may overlook this fact. Is "Marion Bridge" too quiet? Perhaps. We're talking about incest here. But the anger is there. If quiet is the new loud, throwing a bible out an open window after Agnes reads to their dying mother, has more volume than shouting.… Expand
