Hush is one of my favorite movies. I have never forgotten the charactors or the storyline and often look for it to watch again. I find the content of this article surprising. Are movies just about money and does the box office reflect what is most liked? I’ll continue to remember it for all its tender moments and suspense and watch it again.
Me too!!! I’m stunned to read this! I love this movie and I also look for it from time to time. I don’t get why it was panned by critics. I also don’t get why Jessica Lange herself calls it a piece of sh**. Whatever their opinion of it, I (we) appreciate it and love when I get to watch it.
One of the funniest films from this year! High camp; too bad the direction s so dull that after an hour even the funny bits get drowned out by the tedium. This is the kind of movie that tries to build suspense by having every character act as stupid and inattentive to the obvious as possible. Jessica Lange does a lot of eye-rolliing, neck-straining and incessant smoking as the wealthy gargoyle mother who has it in for innocent dumbbell daughter in law Gwyneth Paltrow. Jonathan Schaech plays a piece of wood who occasionally stumbles into a scene with other characters. You know Lange s supposed to be evil because she smokes, drinks and has an inexplicable Southern accent (in upstate New York?). The film sports two endings (don t worry, no spoilers here!!!), the first of which is guffaw-inducing just because it s medically not possible, and a final showdown which is incredibly dull and comes out of nowhere. Lots of bad dialogue and far-fetched plot developments carry the viewer to the bitter end. Allegedly this film was held up for massive re-shoots and edits for a whole year. One hopes for a director s cut just so we can see what could have been even worse than this hilarious nonsense. Recommended!!!
That movie was classicly and pleasantly intriquing. Jessica Lange has the range to make that a cult classic. Just observing a pathological liar played so well is incredibly entertaining. There are many people like that in this world and to capture it so specifically on film is noteworthy of the talent of Jessica Lange. Lange is a supreme in the world of convincing truth with the skills of acting. It does not register as anything other than exceptional just like all of her body of work. She went beyond what supplies she was provided. My family and I love the film. It keeps us grounded. Well done. Lange did not hold back and is the only reason the film is a classic.
You ladies nailed it. I would like to know why Paltrow is soooo skinny, that doesn’t take away the movie has relevant content. Worth watching.

We cherish our DVD of the film.
The farmhouse is located in Kentucky, not upstate New York.
Jessica lange’s character wasn’t in upstate New York, she was on the farm in Kentucky
Wait… reshoots with an obvious wig… Kate Mara, is that you?
You do not understand the truth of the film, and by the way that is Jessica Lange.
You might need to HUSH.
