The film is followed by an interview with Carver’s widow, Tess Gallagher, who provides insights into the story and Carver himself. Still, the acting and set are well-done, creating an ambiance reminiscent of the story. Between the voice-overs and flashbacks, it is difficult to settle into this film the way one settles into the written story. They give the viewers needed background information, but they don’t fit seamlessly into the action of the story. Flashbacks are also employed with mixed results. This distracts from the dialog and seems to take the burden of showing emotion away from the actors. Rather than giving the voice-overs a clichéd fuzzy quality, the filmmakers opt to make them louder than the dialog between characters. While they bring Carver’s language and his main character’s thoughts to the film, they also serve as a distraction. The voice-overs are both a successful and unsuccessful technique. The production is extremely faithful to the story, taking its dialog almost verbatim from the text and using voice-overs to bring in more of Carver’s prose. This film dramatizes one of Raymond Carver’s most anthologized and studied stories.
