Customer Reviews of Stranger in the Kingdom
Haven't seen this movie but.... This movie and book are based on a true story.
good film, definitely worth a rental if you're interested
The third in Jay Craven's series of film adaptations of Howard Frank Mosher novels (the others are 'High Water' (1991), 'Where the Rivers Flow North' (1993), and the upcoming 'Disappearances'.) By far Craven's darkest film to date, telling a story of murder and racism in a small, backwards Vermont town, c. 1950. A nice piece of cinema which is at once both a compelling drama and a well executed whodunit, featuring top-drawer performances (particularly Rusty DeWees, Bill Raymond, and Ernie Hudson.), and an appropriately eerie score by the Horse Flies. Not entirely faithful to the book, but how many films are? Worth at least a rental from anybody who likes a good drama.
Poorly written screenplay, but somewhat charming
I can't fault the actors, although there were some moments... it's just a shame that it couldn't have stuck to the book better - and was marred by some miscasting, and bad pacing. I like the whodunit approach - this movie definately has room for that, I just didn't get sucked in by the canned performances, which I imagine would have gotten a shot of life with a better screenplay. But then again, I'm not a movie person. Just a kid from Vermont.
