Far From Heaven: Review

Todd Haynes's gorgeous replica of a 1950s "woman's picture" is more than post-modern pastiche: Thanks to his sensitively written script and a flawless performance by Julianne Moore, it's also a powerful and deeply moving example of melodramatic moviemaking. Moore stars as a suburban housewife who has everything a modern woman of 1957 could be expected to want. The glossy surface of her perfect world is shattered the night Cathy surprises her husband (an excellent Dennis Quaid) at his office, and finds him in the arms of another man.
