Rating: - Ironweed
Very interesting movie a bit dark not full of fun and happiness but well acted and I like this movie.
Rating:  - Fantastic American Film

It is a mystery that it has not been released to DVD in the U.S.; interesting and entertaining.

When I finally got to the last of the trio tales I read "Ironweed" in one day and then went out and rented the vhs version at my local video store. Jack Nicholson does an outstanding job in his role as "Francis Phelan" a man haunted by the ghosts from his past.
Tom Waits as "Rudy the kraut" was my favorite character. Meryl Streep ... Read More
