Fonda gave the performance of a lifetime!
Peter Fonda should have won the Oscar for this film. After he didn't, I boycotted the movies for a full 12 months. Fonda gave the performance of a lifetime in this film about a solitary Florida bee-keeper trying to keep what's left of his family together.
This is not light entertainment. This is realistic film-making at its best.
There is no Hollywood "fix" ending. These are real people with really serious problems trying to make their way through with the least amount of damage.
Forget the Academy....see this film and ask yourself who deserved the Best Actor Oscar....
