Robert Redford's directorial debut was amazing. With great care, Redford got amazing performances from Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore and young Timothy Hutton, one of his best performances ever. The subject matter is well written and on target, given that the young son attempted suicide after the death of his big brother. How the parents handle this is the key, in particular the mother. And Judd Hirsch as the boy's psychiatrist is terrific. This movie always makes me cry. Very moving and so real.

A brilliant portrayal of a family struggling with the death of a child. The successful dialogue of the devil's advocate here, Judd Hirsch, was particularly well done. Although I disagree with the above description of the mother as "inexplicably aloof" (a once-vibrant woman, reeling too deep even in her own realm and keeping her head above water by maintaining her status quo) we are left, still, with the pain death causes for everyone. And how death propels life.
