ORDINARY PEOPLE (1981)

ROBERT REDFORD

Plot

Painful post-mortem of a family on the brink of breakdown. Tyler-Moore is the all-American mom whose frozen smile hides her despair over one son's death and the other's subsequent suicide attempt. Best performances are from the younger cast members in this brutal dissection of the American dream.
