IMDb plot summary: A group of seven former college friends gather for a weekend reunion at a South Carolina winter house after the funeral of one of their friends.
Directed by Lawrence Kasdan. Starring Tom Berenger, Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum, and William Hurt.
This is pretty solid. Each of the characters is just interesting enough and gets just enough screen time that I feel like I've gotten to know them a little and care about how things ultimately work out for them. Overall, there's nothing really wrong with it, but I didn't feel as emotionally connected to it as I hoped to. It's one that I feel might grow on me on a rewatch, though, so I'll have to give that a shot someday. In the meantime, I like its quiet, thoughtful nature and its compelling characters (and cast), and I'm glad I saw it.
3.5 stars.
