Maria Bello just dripped sensuality in every word and movement throughout, except when she was spitting venom like "This party isn't for you anyway. It's for our little unborn nephew... God save him from your genes." Or, "Harry... Harry, if you want to withhold approval, intimidate and give rewards or punishments... buy a dog." She was the child of incest by her father and that rape caused her immense pain that permeated every relationship. It is a fact of life, and I have never seen it more brilliantly displayed. Alfieri captured the lifelong torture in his word, and Bello displayed it with emotion that made this film.
That is not to say that Bello was it entirely. Eric McCormack ("Will and Grace") had a pain of his own and he was absolutely dripping with venom in his snide remarks and eventual explosion of the bottles up anger. A man afraid to revel his feeling for fear of rejection, he got to the point where he could no longer contain.
Elizabeth Banks was the perfect "white trash" that felt out of place in this family - and she was, marrying the out of place brother Alessandro Nivola. Mary Stuart Masterson was also extremely good as the sister who could not reveal her pains either due to her position at the school. Rip Torn added perspective as the professor who read headlines out loud.
Great performances from all and a film worth your time.
The acting is in one word stunning. Script is like I said very rich in dialogue. Allan Siedelman's direction is very enticing and inviting. I'll root for Maria Bello for an Oscar nomination for her brilliant performance. Scoring is beautiful but subtle.
When released, this movie should draw rave reviews and can only be more successful as more people get to watch it.
Not bad, worth being seen if you feel like seeing a family going through theatrical drama.
Marcia, Irene, Olga and Andrew Prior (Maria Bello, Erika Christensen, Mary Stuart Masterson and Alessandro Nivola) are four sibilings that live in modern New York all with their personal issues and with a seemingly perfect family life but on the inside full of contrasts. Especially after the death of their father (Rip Torn) there will be the occasion that will reunite the three sisters because every family has their own dark secrets (as the Italian title for this says).
The first part wasn't bad I admit it. All the cast members (Bello, Christensen, Masterson, Nivola, Torn, Tony Goldwyn, Chris O'Donnell and Elizabeth Banks) did their best with the material given, and I bet they liked to starring in something based on Chekhov. But as the movie progressed, and especially in the second half, there were too many conflicts and the characters behaved so nastily between them that it made me lose my interest, and if it wasn't for this I would have given it a 8.
Overall, if you are familiar with the source material it's a must see but for others... only of interest if you love scenes of characters bickering to each other or movies about conflicted families.

Marcia Prior Glass: I suppose I fared better than Andrew who had to hand his balls over to father... only one pair allowed in the house at a time, you know. After father died, Andrew got them back but strangely enough he keeps looking for someone else to give them to. Olga and I passed them back and forth for a while but we really didn't want them... He finally found a real taker in Nancy who it seems had been looking for an extra pair for quite some time.
