Good Mary Tyler Moore performance, but the whole thing is a little too earnest and careful to be completely successful.

I thought that the main three (Sutherland, Moore and Hutton) all had great performances in this film which really helped me buy into the story, and in turn have some emotions for the characters. It was weird seeing Moore play the exact opposite of her fun loving TV role, but she did a stellar job. Suther;and was great at trying to play a confused and helpless mediator. The scene near the end when he came to his conclusions about Moore, were heart-wrenching.

Solid writing, solid direction, solid acting, but the characters lacked enough depth for me to care emotionally rather than just intellectually.

The recipient of a lot of undue hate for having the gall to best Raging Bull at the Oscars. If that boils your blood, blame the voters, not this film. Though Redford's use of music is a touch too manipulative, the performances he draws from all his actors hit a level of honesty seldom seen in cinema. Hutton and Hirsch are particularly brilliant but the acting on the whole is just damn excellent. Its portrait of a broken family feigning social happiness remains relevant thirty years later.

Sappy, predictable and just all around bad. Gives A Beautiful Mind a run for worst best picture winner ever. I know this is cliched but how did this beat Raging Bull? Pathetic. I didn't care about any of the idiotic characters and they never give you a reason to. Sutherland is solid though and all the scenes with him are pretty legit, except the ending. Gayest ending ever.

Loved it. There are some absolutely heartbreaking scenes to be found in this one -- one of which for me was simply a defeat-stricken expression on Sutherland's face. I found myself completely wrapped up in this family's drama, rooting for them every step of the way.

The story of a "normal", upper-middle class family dealing with the effects of losing one of their own. Sutherland never seems to give a bad performance, and he is great here as the affable peacemaker of the family. Moore plays way against type as the ice queen beholden to social mores and uninterested in expressing how she really feels about her remaining family. Hutton is outstanding as the guilt-ridden brother who has lost his way in the world. The Christmas tree scene is as real as it gets.

It was decent, but I don't know about Best Picture decent. The performances are great and are the best part of the film, but the story is kind of simple. Hutton was excellent, but Moore and Sutherland are good. A decent debut from Redford. I'd say it is about equal to In the Bedroom as these two films seem very similar.

I, for one, think this does deserve the Oscars it got, including Best Picture. Featuring simply incredible performances all around, particularly from Mary Tyler Moore, who defies all thoughts of type-casting, and a very powerful performance from Judd Hirsch as the concerned psychologist. About as intense as family dramas can get.
