Dir. David O. Russell. 1994, 100 mins.

With Jeremy Davies and Alberta Watson. In his impressive debut, which won the Audience Award at Sundance, Russell brings deadpan humor and emotional complexity to what could have been very lurid subject matter: the improper relationship that develops over a summer between a housebound mother and her college-age son.
