    Good directing. Good acting. Good atmosphere. Yet while watching it I was unmoved or entertained and once over I felt unappeased. Just didnt have rhythm or lasting impact.

    The atmosphere is wonderful. John Cusack's usual well-nuanced style fit right in, ironically, as the outsider looking in. The problem is the length of the film; even though there were so many true-life characters (some playing themselves), you have to cut something. And, a little Chablis goes a long way. Eastwood's daughter could have been much worse.

    The film is consummately professional but phlegmatic, a slow fizzle.
  2. Listless, disjointed and disconnected, this meandering two-hour, 32-minute exercise in futility will fascinate no one who doesn't have a blood relation among the cast or crew.

    Like the South, the movie is sumptuous and somnolent.
