Absolutely fantastic picture, incredible performances by all concerned as well as great direction. SPOILER: I was hugely disappointed though that the potential adoptive dad turned out to be so shallow. Given only the CHANCE that there may be a problem, he just can't handle it. Obviously this was a couple who shouldn't have children, since obviously they would have had difficulty should they have had a child of their own with potential problems. I was THRILLED that they decided not to adopt in future since God already knew what we had to see in the movie, some folks shouldn't have children. If there were an academy award for these folks I know of no one in the picture who shouldn't get one. I disagree that Laura Dern (Wanda) came across as a double digit iq. She may not have the book learning and she may be a trailer person, but she demonstrated great wisdom in dealing with many situations, the adoption, her husband's abuse of her, the money problems, the final conflict, which she saw, possibly more clearly than Rachel! Anyway, an all around great picture.
