In the Gloaming
In the Gloaming ★★★ 1997 (PG)
Twentysomething Danny (Leonard) bitterly returns home to his suburban, wealthy, emotionally cold family because he is dying of AIDS. He and mother Janet (Close) renew their strained family ties but his businessman dad (Strathairn) doesn't know how to cope except with distance, and his sullen sister Anne (Fonda) is resentful. Wrenching story with fine work by all, including Goldberg in the small role of live-in nurse, Myrna. Based on a short story by Alice Elliot Dark. Reeve's directorial debut. 60m/C VHS, DVD . Robert Sean Leonard, Glenn Close, David Strathairn, Bridget Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg; D: Christopher Reeve; W: Will Scheffer; C: Frederick Elmes; M: Dave Grusin. CABLE
