Small Sacrifices

About This Movie

Small Sacrifices, directed by David Greene, is a heavy piece that delves into the darker side of human nature. The tone is somber, almost suffocating at times, with an atmosphere that lingers. You watch this movie and can feel the tension building, as the story unfolds at a deliberate pace, drawing you deeper into the unsettling narrative. The performances, particularly by Farrah Fawcett, are raw and haunting—she really embodies the turmoil of a mother in crisis. Practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the realism of the injuries without overshadowing the emotional weight of the film. It’s a study of desperation and the impact of trauma, making it distinct in the landscape of TV dramas from that era.
