The Waterdance

Very Short Review

(stars: Eric Stoltz, Wesley Snipes, Helen Hunt, William Forsythe)

Moving (and autobiographical) account of a young man's coming to grips with his paraplegia. The scope is small and the pace appropriately deliberate; bombast would have killed this delicate tale. The directing is most assured, and the film is bolstered by glowing performances by all the actors.
