The Substance Of Fire: Review

A house divided: Tony Goldwyn, Ron Rifkin and Sarah Jessica Parker

This earnest adaptation of Jon Robin Baitz's play is worth seeing for Ron Rifkin's astonishing performance alone. He plays a New York publisher who, as a child, watched while his family was taken away to die in a Nazi concentration camp. That memory has defined his life and now threatens to destroy it: He feels compelled to publish only accounts of atrocities and genocide, not quite the sort of books that fly off the shelves. His children (Tony Goldwyn, Timothy Hutton and Sarah Jessica Parker) are faced with a painful choice: Indulge their father's obsessions, or save the family business.
