‎‘Far from Heaven’ review by julie • Letterboxd

Watched 2022

Great stuff. Love the way Haynes goes to painstaking lengths to beautifully evoke the 1950s setting, while also picking apart the attitudes of that same setting and crafting an empathetic portrait of the main characters, all trapped and restrained in their own ways by a discriminatory environment. The obvious comparison is Douglas Sirk, but I also thought of Mad Men while watching. To no one’s surprise, Julianne Moore continues to show why she’s one of our greatest actresses.
