David Strathairn doing that thing where he barely moves and destroys you.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Arthur Hiller, who plays deaf Tobias, was actually a renowned director (Love Story, The Hospital) taking a rare acting role in his final years.
Shot in 1999 but shelved until 2002, giving it that limbo energy—neither 90s indie boom nor early 2000s prestige drama, just existing in its own melancholic pocket.
