"My favorite novel of all time is Raintree County. It's about American journalism, patriotism, and a star-crossed love affair a hundred years ago. Like the Bible, you can pick it up, read any page, and gain something. It's poetry. Forget the movie, if you saw it, the book is something entirely different." —Edna Buchanan, author, You Only Die Twice and Cold Case Squad

The costumes, soundtrack and scenery are lovely, and "Raintree County" tackles big topics like slavery, racism and insanity. But when you're reduced to praising supporting players and the pretty production, you know the rest of the movie has trouble.
