Marion Bridge Movie Synopsis
Agnes, (Parker) a woman who is struggling with her own self destructive behavior, must return to her Nova Scotia hometown to help care for her dying mother (McNeil). When Agnes reunites with her estranged sisters, family secrets emerge and affect their relationships.
So real..... It unfolds as you watch it, and, just like life, has it`s unexpected twists and turns. I have watched it about 5 times so far, and will watch it again. The cast is perfect. Molly Parker has just shot to the top of my favorite Actresses list.. Ellen Page is always a pro, with a long career ahead.
great movie - the interweaving of the stories of the relationships within the family is superb
This movie keeps playing on one of my movie channels and I keep watching it.It`s enthralling. The performances, especially Parker`s, are so true it almost seems like a home movie. This is an amazing film. The direction is sensitive and flawless. I`m so proud that this film comes from Canada. It couldn`t have been easy for the actors. Kudos to all of you in this production and I hope to see more of the same.
