Canvas
Canvas (2006) starring Joe Pantoliano, Marcia Gay Harden, Devon Gearhart. This movie tells the story of a family in which the mother (Harden) has been stricken with schizophrenia. Her husband (Pantoliano) copes by building a sailboat in the yard, and her son Chris (Gearhart) copes by being a kid. It's a moving and somewhat scary story that is said to be based on a true family's tale. The filmmakers obviously cared a lot about their subject and have put a lot of heart into this film. (The DVD lacks subtitles in English, but closed captions save the day.) Grade: B+
