L² Comment:

This film get a lots of nomination awards in 2001 and it won Best film, best director, best actor, best actress & best supporting actress in multiple film awards except academy awards(oscar). But for me, its a bit boring and a big yawn~ :(

From the story written by Andre Dubus "Killing", but i really dont understand why they name this film as "In The Bedroom"... it really does not mean anything at all~
