Synopsis
Based on Nathalie Robins and Steven Aronson’s award-winning novel, which tells the incredible true story of Barbara Daly, wife of Brooks Baekeland, the dashing heir to the Bakelite plastics fortune. Beautiful, charismatic, Barbara is still not a match for her betterborn husband. The birth of the couple’s only child, Tony, rocks the uneasy balance in this marriage of extremes. Tony is a failure in his father’s eyes, and as he matures he becomes increasingly close to his lonely mother. The seeds for a tragedy of spectacular decadence are sown.

Stuning and beauty. I really like the way the treated the history in the film. I did read the book and Its pretty much like the flim. I dont think any of the caracters were unsane but very confused and inside a mix of hard feelings.

Really disturbing story, well developed at the beginning, but not so well from the middle on: the insanity turns out too abruptly.
