Review of Ulee's Gold

Ulee's Gold (1997)
9/10
A triumphal return for Peter Fonda !
15 January 1999
The often forgotten member of the Fonda family will hopefully be well remembered for this role and henceforth! This was no big-budget film, not dependent on special effects, torrid sex, or terrorist-style violence, either. Thus the actors had to carry the day, especially Fonda, and he did. Hats off ! -- for a marvellous performance, a triumphal return to the big screen, and for his Golden Globe award ("Best Actor - drama") and Oscar nomination. The less than picture-perfect family in this film applies to many and was a story we could relate to: Believable, tangible, and very well done! (Rating 4.5 stars of 5.)
