A Map of the World (1999)

When her close friend Julianne Moore’s young daughter has a fatal accident under her care, her town turns against her and school nurse Sigourney Weaver’s professionalism in other instances is called into question. It’s quite a bit of melodrama that doesn’t given either of these great actresses quality material to work with, especially Weaver who is expected to deliver some really strange behaviors while in prison. The MVP of the whole film is David Strathairn as Weaver’s husband, giving a strong performance as a man who has to make tough decisions while keeping his family together.
