4 Academy Award nominations
Julianne Moore (Hannibal, Boogie Nights) and Dennis Quaid (The Rookie, Frequency) star in this seductive story of a seemingly perfect family, and the forbidden desires that threaten to tear them apart.
Cathy Whitaker (Moore) has it all-a lovely home, two wonderful children and a handsome husband (Quaid), who is successfully climbing the corporate ladder. But Cathy's idyllic existence is just an illusion, and she is eventually forced to choose between living a lie or following her heart.
Academy Award nominee Moore "is a vision," declared Rex Reed, and he called Quaid's performance "the best of his career," in this stunning drama hailed by the New York Post as "one of the year's best.'

By far, the best film of the year! - 5 out of 5 (4/2/2003)
Everything is right in FAR FROM HEAVEN, Todd Haynes's homage to 50's melodramas.
Just from watching this flawless film, you can tell that Mr. Haynes is a natural director/writer. The always-wonderful Julianne Moore delivers the best performance of her career (as well as the best performance of the year), bringing earthiness and credible emotion to a role that could have been overacted (if Mr. Haynes had cast the wrong actress).
