Wild Iris
First screened in January 2006
Director: Daniel Petrie. TV Movie. Cast: Laura Linney, Gena Rowlands, Emile Hirsch, Miguel Sandoval, Fred Ward, Amy Stewart, Lee Tergesen, Scott Gibson. Screenplay: Kent Broadhurst.

Twitter Capsule: Despite the talent attached, feels like a decade-old script. And despite her Emmy, Linney's subpar. Goes where you think.

VOR:   Rather than the Emmy attention raising the movie's status, this utterly quotidian drama makes the Emmys look very odd.
