Ordinary People (1980)


A drama directed by Robert Redford, starring Mary Tyler Moore.
After a young man's brother died in a boating accident, he tried to kill himself and was admitted into a sanitarium. The film starts when he just got out and goes to see a therapist. He has trouble relating with his mother.
There was one question that I was left with at the end of this film: Why make this a movie? Nothing really happens, people just have problems with social and family relationships. Also, nothing really concludes, it just kind of leaves things unfinished. The style and pacing were alright, but the characters all looked and acted the same and the plot was sub-par. I'm rating this poor because I just don't think it's worth watching.
