Emily and Phil continue their exploration of The Todd’s—Haynes, Phillips, Solondz, and Field—with a deep, emotional dive into Todd Field’s devastating directorial debut, In The Bedroom (2001). Joining them is critic and editor Katey Rich, bringing insight into what made this restrained, quietly explosive drama a standout of early 2000s cinema. Together, they unpack Sissy Spacek and Tom Wilkinson’s powerhouse performances, the film’s chilling portrait of grief and middle-class rage, and how Field’s naturalistic style both subverts and elevates melodrama. They also reflect on the film's surprising Oscar run and how it signaled the arrival of a serious new voice in American filmmaking. 📽️ This episode is part of our ongoing mini-series dedicated to the modern auteurs named Todd.
