"A hard watch. It's not a movie I'll be able to come back to, maybe ever. But it will always stick with me."
Recently watched Ordinary People (1980). It was so affecting and earnest. I'm becoming a real Donald Sutherland Head. · u/beskinnyorleave · ↑57 · 2023-06-07
"Rest in peace Robert Redford. His directorial debut. One of the most honest takes on mental illness, psychiatry and the apathy found in WASP households."
