I watched the film Affliction (1997) today

It was depressing but very compelling.

Any fans?

It’s very good and one of Paul Schrader’s best.

I would have liked for Nolte to have won Best Actor for this. I am glad they gave it to Coburn at least.

It's good but it's not a movie I'd ever want to watch again.

The two movies based on books by Russell Banks, "The Sweet Hereafter" and "Affliction" are extraordinary, especially "The Sweet Hereafter".
