At long last a more than watchable film from Mr The Great I Am - Kevin Costner.(I'm told that he truly believes that "The Postman" will be rediscovered in due course as one of the much maligned great films). Ha!
But to return to the subject at hand he generously shares his screen time with a very watchable Robert Duvall and an elegant Annette Bening who is not afraid to play her age -- very refreshing that.
While it would have fitted well into 90 minutes rather than a relaxed 135 which did produce some longueurs, it was not hard-going. Lovingly photographed and staged --the composition showed an artist's eye which I never suspected Mr Costner to possess. Finally it was great to see a meaty part for the lovely character actor Michael Jeter who is unfortunately no longer available.

I agree with you on that 90 mins would have been adequate although I liked it.~xxR
