movie review - Cookie's Fortune

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1999.10.08

This is a somewhat odd movie. It's all very homey. Except for the messy suicide bit. And the sex in the prison between one of the family members and one of the constables, which served what purpose. And how one of the daughters winds up in prison for murder when the death was actually a suicide.

Not recommended.

Before you act, listen. Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try.
