Cardinals takes us down the road of a family that has dealt with tragedy and now must deal with the next stage of reconciliation if possible. The release of the mother from prison. The pain of the son of the victim. Family secrets and how to deal with emotions and stress yet stay within societies structure and rules without losing yourself. So no exploding car crashes, mobs running through the streets or ray guns. Wonderfully Directed, Acted and Produced with focus on the story. Thanks for allowing the audience the time to adjust to real life on film which is so incredibly rare in films/movies. So put your adult pants on and see a very good film.

Upper Middle "Class" family problems where old solutions are no longer viable or even wanted. Mr. & Mrs. Bridge is a great story told with great writing that marries perfectly with Woodward and Newman doing the heavy lifting. Blythe Danner is excellent as Grace Barron and Sandra McClain pushes to the front of the line with her performance as Harriet Rogers. The future is brought to life with Dr. Alex Sauer portraide by Simon Callow as women flock to him for answers to questions previously gone unasked. As the story slowly and methodically unfolds, there is no explosive "happening" that provides comfort or completion. The ending is a surprise, but not what you might think you are being led too. Enjoy with Popcorn.
