MARION BRIDGE. Good pensive movie. Incredibly well acted. Movie is a good example of "everybody has a story." Three sisters. Alcoholic mom who is dying. Long suffering sister who can't let former husband go although he appears to be selfish p...k! Sister who returns home to look after mother is recovering alcoholic, sexually abused by father who gets her pregnant. Ellen Page is the now teenage daughter of the sexual abuse. Youngest daughter is a lesbian coming out. Need I go on. Everybody has a story. Good movie with a dozen story lines. A truly sad one is the now dementia father who is "out of it" and the pain he caused goes on. To confront him is useless.
Movies are great for the fact that they can make happen exactly what they want to happen. In this case most all stories got resolved or at least "faced." Not a bad thing. Real life is not so easy.
