Paul Bettany gives the performance of the year in Alan Ball’s memoirish film about a gay professor in 1974 and his dysfunctional relationship with his southern family. Despite the cliches of suicide, coming out, internalized and externalized homophobia, with Bettany anchoring the movie the viewer’s cathartic tears at the end are well earned.
