Synopsis: Far From Heaven (2002)
Synopis: It is the fall of 1957. The Whitakers make their home in Hartford, Connecticut. Their daily existences are characterized by carefully-observed family etiquette, social events and an overall desire to keep up with the Joneses. Cathy Whitaker (Moore) is the homemaker, wife and mother. Frank (Quaid) is the breadwinner, husband and father. They have two pre-teen children, a boy and a girl. As the story unfolds, Cathy's pristine world is transformed. Her interactions with her gardener, Raymond Deagan (Haysbert; her best friend, Eleanor Fine (Clarkson); and her maid, Sybil (Davis), reflect the upheavals in her life. Cathy is faced with choices that spur gossip within the community and change several lives forever.Features: Far From Heaven (2002)

, June 5, 2003Reviewer: leilamarie1576 - See all leilamarie1576's reviewsThis movie is so boring! Don't waste your time or money on it! It's suppose to be all artsy and 50s, and it is, and that's kind of cool, but it goes too far! I can kind of see why Julianne was nominated best actress, but the movie itself was too boring!

Pros: This film explained alot about the views of people in that era and how they reacted to gay relationships and black/white relations
Cons: It initially moved slow, however once the truth was revealed i could take my eyes off the t.v. screen
I thought this was a wonderful movie and have recommended it to family and friends...I was truley surprised to see Dennis Quaid in a role like this, but it gave a better and fuller view of his talents. Julienne Moore was wonderful and she upheld the "Good Wife" role even when today many of us would have left or put our husbands out...Dennis Haysbert is always wonderful to watch and his diversity in acting is great... ...
