Ordinary People (1980) starring Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, Judd Hirsch, Timothy Hutton, M. Emmet Walsh, Elizabeth McGovern. Directed by Robert Redford. Now thirty years old, this movie has lost none of its power to move me. The conflict is timeless, as an American middle-class family struggles to deal with the death of one of two sons. The surviving son (Hutton) has to overcome feelings of guilt about living through the boating accident that killed his brother. His father (Sutherland) worries about him, and his mother (Moore) resents him. The film won four well-deserved Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. The acting is good all around. It's McGovern's screen debut. The subtitles are quite good. Grade: A
