Paul Schrader and Nick Nolte are no strangers to essaying works on violent, abusive men who shatter under their own ego, and Affliction, while no great masterwork, fits neatly in with their milieu.

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since I have this movie on DVD, I was quite eager to check it out again.

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- January 2019 (35 movies items)" Starz- 1hr. 54min. First Viewing Despite being too writerly, or blunt, for it's own good (Schrader's obtrusive need for overly literary narration and storytelling devices occasionally threaten to overwhelm the picture), Affliction is a searing look at the ways men pass resentment and violence through generations. It's a tough watch, certainly a harrowing one; watching this level of human misery onscreen always is. That said, it's a testament to the film that it is this difficult; despite the sc"
