Cathy is the perfect 50s housewife, living the perfect 50s life: healthy kids, successful husband, social prominence. Then one night she stumbles in on her husband Frank, kissing another man, and her tidy world starts spinning out of control. In her confusion and grief, she finds consolation in the friendship of their African-American gardener, Raymond - a socially taboo relationship that leads to the further disintegration of life as she knew it. Despite Cathy and Frank's struggle to keep their marriage afloat, the reality of his homosexuality and her feelings for Raymond open a painful, if more honest, chapter in their lives.

Movie Reviews

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - 10/10 by Duane DudekFrom living room furniture to chain smoking at a cocktail party, Haynes gives the film the verisimilitude of a time and place where reflex, ritual and function disguised what people really thought and felt.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution - 10/10 by Eleanor Ringel CaterBy surrounding us with hyper-artificiality, Haynes makes us see familiar issues, like racism and homophobia, in a fresh way.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 10/10 by Steven ReaThe movie is, start to finish, candy-colored angst.
New York Post - 10/10 by Lou LumenickPerhaps the year's most daring and fully realized movie, is a pitch-perfect re-creation of '50s melodramas, showcasing a four-hankie performance by a peroxided Julianne Moore.
The New York Times - 10/10 by Dana StevensIt rediscovers the aching, desiring humanity in a genre -- and a period-- too often subjected to easy parody or ironic appropriation. In a word, it's divine.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertJulianne Moore, Dennis Quaid and Dennis Haysbert are called on to play characters whose instincts are wholly different from their own. By succeeding, they make their characters real, instead of stereotypes.
SPLICEDWire - 10/10 by Rob BlackwelderThat Haynes can both maintain and dismantle the facades that his genre and his character construct is a wonderous accomplishment of veracity and narrative grace.
Newsday - 10/10 by John AndersonIts core is a nugget of emotional truth and longing that's irresistible, and inextricably tied to a power so purely cinematic you wonder why so many other directors even bother.
Flick Filosopher - 10/10 by MaryAnn Johanson[Close] in its intent, in its daring, and in its success to Raiders of the Lost Ark... it's the unshakeable love of a damn fine moviegoing experience that gives both films their real meaning.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversHaynes makes you drunk on movies again, on raw emotion delivered without the cushion of irony.
