Marvin's Room (1996)

Cast: Meryl Streep (Lee Lacker), Leonardo DiCaprio (Hank), Diane Keaton (Bessie Greenfield), Robert DeNiro (Dr. Wally), Hume Cronyn (Marvin), Gwen Verdon (Ruth)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Marvin's Room page.

I loved the play, so the movie interested me immediately. Perhaps I didn't properly describe the play to my family, since they all thought it was well done, but hated it, since it was so sad... What's funny is that there's probably more humor in the movie than the play.

I think that they did a great job with Marvin's Room on the big screen. They used the fact that they could film in various locations to take you to the places you couldn't really see in the play. The cast was wonderful. Leonardo DiCaprio, who normally doesn't impress me, did a great job, too.

I highly recommend Marvin's Room. Just be aware that it is not a happy movie and you'll love it.

Grade: B+
