A review by whimsicalmeerkat
Ordinary People by Judith Guest

5.0

Beautiful and haunting. It is a perfect picture of a family filled with pain and tension, and all the ways in which someone's life may not be as it seems from outside. A profound experience, both to read and watch. (This is one of the few things I have read where the film does justice to the book.) Judith Guest masterfully writes her characters within a heartrending story.
