    It is among the best and most delicately managed films of the year.
  2. 60
    While The Woodsman gets the psychological profile right, it fails to make Bacon a man.
  3. 30
    Overblown melodrama, as muddle-headed as it is palpably sincere.

    Daring and original. Would rate a "10" if the script hadn't made the mistake of unrealistically populating the neighbourhood with an overabundance of child molesters. Expand

    A well done film on a difficult subject manner that was done without any heavy handed leanings. Kevin Bacon was fantastic in the part as was Kira Segswick. Difficult to watch in a few places , but acting don't get any better than this. Expand
