Rec. #345: Children of a Lesser God
What: Children of a Lesser God features twenty-one-year-old Marlee Matlin making her big-screen debut (and getting an Oscar for her trouble) alongside William Hurt. The film is based on a Tony-winning play and was Oscar-nominated for Best Picture.
These are serious credentials! But the movie itself isn't as cerebral as the poster suggests. It is angry and sexy. (Not exactly a funny, lighthearted romp, though.)
Representative quote: "Yelling at the back of a deaf person --- very good, James."
How to get it: Available to stream through Netflix and Amazon.
