Summer time on the coast of Maine, USA, In the bedroom centres on the inner dynamics of a family in transition.
Matt Fowler (Tom Wilkinson) is a doctor practising in his native Maine and is married to New York born Ruth Fowler (Sissy Spacek), a choral music teacher. Their only child, Frank (Nick Stahl), home from school for the summer, is working as a part time lobsterman to earn money for graduate school in the new semester.

Theatrical report
I've tried to watch In the bedroom three times but I just can't get through the first half hour. There's nothing wrong with it - in fact, the script, acting and direction are all good - but there's something about it that I just take. You might have better luck.
