Jamie and I watched Far From Heaven tonight.  It wasn't a terrible movie, but I must admit that I was surprised that it garnered a best actress role for Julianne Moore and even more surprised that Todd Haynes was nominated for Best Original Screenplay.  My favorite part of the movie was the art direction, actually, followed by the cinematography, for which it deserved its nomination.  Of the actors, I thought Dennis Haysbert had the most powerful performance, but maybe that's because of the 24 connection.  I thought the writing was heavy-handed and “wretched“, and the writer's agenda was hardly subtle.  Apart from that, I'd still recommend it to those interested, just don't go into it with any Oscar-worthy expectations.
