Employing an intricate narrative with flashes forward and backward, actor-turned filmmaker Keith Gordon follows the story of a rising politician (Billy Crudup) whose career is cast into doubt when he is haunted by memories of an activist (Jennifer Connelly) he loved during the Vietnam years. Strong performances by Crudup and Connelly fire this adaptation of Scott Spencer's novel with youthful passion in a film of rare social conscience. Janet McTeer and Hal Holbrook costar. A "wonderfully acted romance" - Washington Post.
