In fact, she would read it to Jeff Goldblum while he went through the hours-long process of having prosthetic make-up applied to his body. Goldblum also appeared in Lawrence Kasdan 's earlier films, The Big Chill (1983) and Silverado (1985) .

Macon : I'm beginning to think that maybe it's not just how much you love someone. Maybe what matters is who you are when you're with them.

A review by Peter McGinn

Written by peter mcginn on april 5, 2020.

** I recently watched this movie again after several years and will add just a few small edits *** This is a quiet and quirky movie, and may not appeal to some viewers. Certainly it differs from 95% of the movies being made these days. But what the heck, our tastes are all different, right?

William Hurt gives the restrained performance the role calls for, playing a man who has disconnected from his feelings so as to avoid the pain of thinking of his deceased son. He writes travel books for people who don't want to "go local" when they travel to other countries, but rather want to feel as co... read the rest.
