action
Indiana in the 1950s: Ray Weiler is a widower and father of two daughters, twelve-year-old Greta and seventeen-year-old Sonya. The ambitious, but professionally unsuccessful Ray turns into a petty criminal and neglects his family. His eldest daughter Sonya is at an expensive private school, to which she was sent at the request of her late mother. With the support of her English teacher, Mr. Webster, she begins to write stories. She is increasingly emancipating herself from her father and becomes a surrogate mother for her younger sister.
criticism
“Without attempting excessive outbursts of emotion, the film describes (partly in flashbacks) the difficult emancipation of a child from the father. He is carried by a cautious narrative rhythm, a fine sense for the psychology of the characters and by great actors up to the supporting roles. "
Roger Ebert gave the film three and a half stars out of four.
