Ironweed (1987)

Not much to say about Ironweed.  Based on the award-winning novel by William Kennedy, the film earned two AA Best Acting nominations by Jack Nicholson and Streep. And yes, they're pretty good, except the movie isn't. There's not a lot of drama and no humor, as we follow two hopeless alcoholics , living their hopeless guilt-wracked lives - hopelessly. The direction and script are slightly above average. Summary: Recommended for fans of good acting, and people with the blues - who want to feel even worse. Rating 2 of 4
