Back To Index Ordinary People
 Barnes & Noble Theres nothing ordinary about Ordinary People, Robert Redfords powerful, Oscar-winning adaptation of Judith Guests novel about the deterioration of an upper-middle-class family. For his first directorial effort, Redford chose a piece with sharply delineated characters, brought to life impeccably by a gifted cast. Timothy Hutton won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his portrayal of a guilt-ridden teenager who attempts suicide after failing to save his brother from drowning. Erstwhile sitcom star Mary Tyler Moore has never equaled her performance as the stern, embittered mother who withholds love from her surviving son following the death of her firstborn. Also superb are Donald Sutherland, playing Huttons sympathetic but ineffectual father, and "Taxi" star Judd Hirsch as the charismatic psychiatrist who attempts to rouse Hutton from his melancholia. Named 1980s Best Picture, Ordinary People hasnt dated a bit: 20 years later, it remains a compelling, emotionally powerful viewing experience.
