Product Description:
Marion Bridge, Toronto Film Festival winner, is the April selection in The Film Movement Series. In the midst of struggling to overcome her self destructive behavior, the youngest of three sisters, Agnes (Molly Parker), returns to her hometown in Novia Scotia determined to confront the past. Her arrival sets in motion a chain of events that allows a family of women to each in their own way re-connect with the world and each other. First time director Wiebke von Carolsfelds debut speaks volumes about sibling and parental relationships with a beautifully realized tale of loss, healing and humor. Subscribers receive a socially important film such as Marion Bridge to own on DVD each month.

`Marion Bridge' is a somber, independent film from '03 filmed against the backdrop of the rustic landscape of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Similar to the well respected `The Shipping News' from '02 the storyline deals with a dysfunctional family displaying all the neglect, abuse and legacy of heartache that comes with it.
While `Marion Bridge' lacks the big names and more dramatic storyline that accompanies `The Shipping News' the cast is superior nonetheless and the complicated, unresolved ... Read More

This story comes alive because of Molly Parker's masterful ability to convey volumes of emotion with her many very subtle facial expressions. Of course this is true for many others of the characters she has so artfully played (Deadwood, Pure, and Kissed). The history of cinema offers an array of great actors.

Probably, most viewers ... Read More

I have not read the book that MARION BRIDGE is based on, but the movie's plot is easy enough to summarize. A young woman returns to her hometown in Cape Breton to join her two sisters in caring for their ailing mother.
But while that may be the plot, the story is much deeper and richer. All three of the actresses playing the sisters are quite good at biting off their lines of dialogue with each other in that familiar familial way people have. And while the movie does ultimately have a few cheesy moments, ... Read More

Marion Bridge is a heavy-duty and emotionally draining experience not just for the viewers, but even more so for the three Cape Breton sisters. Howevever, all that they have endured over the decades or just during their reunion days together, will have a wonderful and meaningful outcome. Do prepare yourself for some tearjerking moments as this film can be kind of heartbreaking, especially the three leads are so impeccable to watch!
Having moved or ran away from home to Toronto more than a decade ago, Agnes(Molly ... Read More
