Editorial Review: Product Description: A seductive story of one seemingly perfect family & the forbidden desires that threaten to tear them apart. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 08/24/2004 Starring: Julianne Moore Dennis Haysbert Run time: 108 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Todd Haynes Amazon.com: This uniquely beautiful film--from one of the smartest and most idiosyncratic of contemporary directors, Todd Haynes (Safe, Velvet Goldmine)--takes the lush 1950s visual style of so-called women's pictures (particularly those of Douglas Sirk, director of Imitation of Life and Magnificent Obsession) to tell a story that mixes both sexual and racial prejudice. Julianne Moore, an amazing fusion of vulnerability and will power, plays a housewife whose husband (Dennis Quaid) has a secret gay life. When she finds solace in the company of a black gardener (Dennis Haysbert), rumors and peer pressure destroy any chance she has at happiness. It's astonishing how a movie with such a stylized veneer can be so emotionally compelling; the cast and filmmakers have such an impeccable command of the look and feel of the genre that every moment is simultaneously artificial and deeply felt. Far from Heaven is ingenious and completely engrossing. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Radical Acceptance...This will help you get through it !If you ever asked yourself as we all have done. Why do people treat each other the way they do ?...you need look no further ! Watch this film ! You won't have to ask your therapist, your girlfriend or anyone else. What ever your going through... I understand now why bad things happen to good people ! Rating:  - A film to make you smile, cry and think 'Far from heaven' the film throws light on situations, secret affairs and taboos. The film takes you right to the mid 50's, the costums, the settings, the whole atmosphere is that of the late 1950's. Julianne Moore gives an outstanding performence, you can see her expressing so much through her eyes alone. Dennis Quaid was excellent too, you can see the plight in which the charecters are. Nevertheless, Dennis Haysbert delivers an excellent performence as well, the chemistry between Haysbert and Moore ...

The plot, the dialogue, and even the voices are such extreme parodies that I expected Divine to rise from the grave for a cameo. Rating: - A Must See MovieThis movie realy captures the time period and the struggles of being gay and race relations in the 50's. Everyone should see this movie. Rating: - the illusions of suburban lifeOne of this generations' most underrated actresses is Julianne Moore is breathtaking as a suburban housewife who seems to have it all before it all comes crashing down on her, with oppressive 1950's Hartford, Connecticut as a background. What works about this movie is the subtle way that suspense is built over time. We know that her marriage is troubled, we know that she's just a little too friendly with her black gardener, we know that her friends are snobs but it's the way that the filn is handled and ...
