Twitter Capsule: Writing, direction could be a bit tougher. That said, it's exciting to track such wild feelings in a roseate milieu.

VOR: ③  Its Southernness and mix of gentility and yearning work more convincingly than the parallel attempts in Fried Green Tomatoes, and with less melodrama than The Prince of Tides.
