With Donald Sutherland as the dad, Mary Tyler Moore as the mom, and Timothy Hutton as the son, you witness an intimate, realistic character study through the superb direction of Robert Redford. But I feel that's exactly why I connected with these characters as much as I did.

About this product

Product Information

Devastated by the loss of their older son, well-to-do suburban couple Calvin (Donald Sutherland) and Beth (Mary Tyler Moore) are trying to rebuild their lives after their younger son, Conrad (Timothy Hutton), attempts suicide. While Beth, who always favored the elder son, retreats into an icy, emotionless shell, Calvin tries to draw Conrad back into the family and into life as a teenager. Conrad sings in the choir and returns to the swim team, but both his brother's death and his own experiences traumatize him. Conrad reluctantly begins therapy sessions with Berger (Judd Hirsch), which allow him some respite from the unbearable grief and guilt he carries with him. As Conrad makes strides, Calvin realizes that he no longer knows his wife and is both saddened and angered by how seemingly emotionless she has become. A classic portrait of family life in the face of tragedy, Robert Redford's award-winning directorial debut is moving and thought provoking. Based on the novel by Judith Guest, the film features the debuts of Timothy Hutton and Elizabeth McGovern as well as breakthrough performances from Mary Tyler Moore and Donald Sutherland.

This Movie Is Not Ordinary
Dealing with the death of a teenage son would never be easy, but in "Ordinary People", Robert Redford makes his Academy Award directorial debut and attempts to deal with it. Ironically, he takes super-sweet, all American Mary Tyler Moore and turns her into a subtly, grief stricken mother Beth, whom we see as all right until the movie unravels her as a bitch--with no affection for her remaining son Conrad (Timothy Hutton) and little affection for her husband Cal (Donald Sutherland). The movie belongs to Timothy Hutton, who won Best Supporting Actor that year and probably should have been nominated as Best Actor since more footage in the movie belongs to him than to anyone else. Conrad survived the boating accident but can barely survive the outcome. He attempts suicide because he is so grief stricken and depressed. Further complications are another suicide by a friend and only criticism from his mother. As the movie unravels, our hearts go out to this kid--especially as we see the boating accident and how his brother Buck died. Donald Sutherland plays the most sensitive person in the family but he is clueless for a long time as to his wife's feelings. This movie was made in 1980, but it was a forerunner to "Kramer vs Kramer," where the father steps up to the plate and tries to bring stability to his kid's life when his whole world collapses. Cal (Mr. Sutherland) even has the wisdom to seek psychiatric help himself to figure out what to do. Mary Tyler Moore was nominated for Best Actress but lost to Sissy Spacek in "Coal Miner's Daughter." This movie showed that she certainly has dramatic acting skills. She had us all convinced for a long time during the movie that she was not the mental case. An especially poignant turning point is when Conrad comes downstairs to welcome his parents home from a trip, gives his mother a very nice hug, and she just freezes without emotion. This was a great performance for her. Finally, Judd Hirsh, in a switched role from his Taxi driver role in the TV show of that name, plays Dr. Berger, Conrad's very astute psychiatrist. He was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor. He is the catalyst that brings out the truth and we get to see a resolution of the conflict in Conrad as we see the boating accident and how Dr. Berger consoles him and rectifies the situation. If you like psychological movies where each character has been developed fully with all their flaws for us to see, you will like "Ordinary People." Otherwise, you will not like it.Read full review

Ordinary People: A Movie Full of Extraordinary Actors
Saw this film has a young man and really enjoyed it.. Big fan of Timothy Hutton.. I saw it again for the 2nd time last week (2016) and I now have 3 children.. WOW.. What a heart wrenching movie to watch when you are a man with 2 boys of your own.. I also did not realize how incredible of an Actress Mary Tyler Moore was until I saw this film has an adult.. Just an awesome movie.. I now see where Robin Williams and Matt Damon got their base chemistry in Good Will Hunting from the interaction between Judd Hirsch and Timothy Hutton.. very similar human interactions... So glad... I saw this movie again as a mature adult!

DVD worked well but I would have enjoyed some special features
One of the greatest films ever made in the last 40 years. If you're looking for a film that looks at and deals with raw suburban upper middle class pain and explores what makes some individuals act the way they do and value the things they do, then this is a film worth watching. It doesn't have any vampires, orks, witches, battles with aliens, gratuitous sex, so just wanted to let you know that up front in case you were wondering. It's been one of my top ten films for 30 years.

A beautiful movie that stands the test of time
When you watch this movie you can understand why it was nominated for and won the awards it did. It is simply an excellent movie about a family that is disintegrating from grief and other issues. There is not a bad performance in the entire movie from Mary Tyler Moore as the emotionally distant mother to Timothy Hutton's Academy Award winning role of the son. This is a tragic and beautiful movie and it stands the test of time.

Compelling & Enlightening
Award-winning film adaptation of Judith Guest's novel, Ordinary People portrays a middle-class family as they struggle to cope with the accidental drowning of the eldest son. The father (Donald Sutherland) feels helpless in trying to reunite the family in its time of need, while the mother (Mary Tyler Moore) avoids any discussion of the tragedy and denies the difficulties in coping with grief. The younger brother, Conrad (Timothy Hutton), is conflicted by anger and guilt as he survived the boating accident while his older brother did not. After a failed suicide attempt, with no one to open up to, Conrad seeks therapy and confides his true feelings to a psychiatrist (Judd Hirsch). Ordinary People is compelling and shines a light on the truth behind the hardships in dealing with grief and depression.Read full review
