Not such rich pickings
A very light shaggy dog story as a small town in the Deep South is shaken by the death of the eponymous character, and the attempts of her highly strung niece to make it look like something it isn't. Ambling along at a languid pace, there are certainly incidental pleasures to be taken, such as the quality of the cast and the lovely sense of time and place. And yet it doesn't seem right that such a slight piece as this should take up 119 minutes of your time.
