An excellent, compelling story of discrimination and private life made public that plays out in a meticulously reconstructed 1950s world. Especially good (though sometimes leisurely paced) because the filmmaker has avoided any facile morality lessons.

I seem to be seeing movies about sadness and isolation this week. (To say nothing of movies with Julianne Moore as a ’50s housewife.)
