THE SECRET LIFE OF WORDS (2005) - Dec. 2, 2006
A slow-paced but never boring film about a factory worker who spends her vacation (forced on her by her boss) working as a nurse, caring for a burn victim on an oil rig. She is shy and doesn't talk much, but a friendship slowly forms between them. Sarah Polley and Tim Robbins both gave really excellent performances as the nurse and the burn victim, respectively. Basically a character study, the film works because the performances are so good, and because it's very well made. ***
