Hollow Reed

DIRECTED BY: Angela Pope

REVIEWED: 07-28-97

A somber British drama that deals with the difficult themes of child abuse, divorce, and the cavalier treatment of homosexuals by the legal system. Not surprisingly, at times Hollow Reed veers into movie-of-the-week territory; but more surprisingly, usually it doesn't. Strong performances from Martin Donovan, Joely Richardson and Sam Bould (as their young son) help make this story of a divorced couple whose son begins to turn up with an uncanny number of injuries both tense and believable.
