:Marg Duffield (Lee Remick) is the Maine wife of Al (Joseph Sommer) whose daughter Peg (Marlee Matlin) is deaf. Peg's husband is killed in a car accident on the way to visit the Maine house, and the Duffield's take in Peg's six year old daughter, Lisa, while Peg recovers. Since Lisa is a speaking child, Marg thinks of her the way she wanted Peg to be, and seeks guardian custody.Remick's role is secondary to Matlin's, though she is presented as a tragic figure, particularly as Al refuses to help her plan to gain Lisa. Peg's deafness is said to be from a childhood case of spinal meningitis, and the teleplay by Louisa Burns-Bisogno, with story by Louisa and Tom Bisogno, reduces Remick to a textbook mother who is self-hating from guilt and therefore cannot love her own daughter. In a memorable scene, Peg angrily signs her exit to Marg, since Marg has refused to learn sign language, though Peg has learned to speak for her mother.The treatment uses the Tennesee Williams play, The Glass Menagerie, for therapy, to help Peg overcome her grief and also Marg `lose her unicorn horn' and embrace her daughter. Whilst Peg choosing to act in this play may seem an odd choice for someone grieving, what is more noticable is that Matlin is far too more glamourous to be believable as Laura. The Bisogno's include Michael O'Keefe as Dan, Peg's deceased husband's best friend and director of Actors Theatre for the Deaf, to offer Peg a new romantic interest, and thankfully she rebukes his protestations of love. Although his opinion may be influenced by his `crush', Dan tells Peg that being different is better than being normal, since the normal ones are as `common as weeds'. This philosophy reads as rather Nietzschean, on the level of artists not being restricted to the common moral code.Director Karen Arthur either has those signing also speaking or those signing being translated for the audience, though in one scene the sound of lapping waves drowns out the dialogue between Dan and Peg. She also gives Matlin some good moments, one being her scream of horror when she hears the news of the death of her husband, and another when she chases Remick down a flight of steps, hitting her.

:男友因车祸意外去世，汤姆（泽维尔·多兰 Xavier Dolan 饰）驱车前往男友家人所在的偏远农场参加葬礼，才得知原来男友母亲并不知道儿子的性取向。男友哥哥弗朗西斯（皮埃尔 - 伊夫·卡迪纳尔 Pierre-Yves Cardinal 饰）恐同而暴力，他威胁汤姆不得透露与弟弟的真实关系，并野蛮的将汤姆囚禁在农场。始料未及的是汤姆渐渐喜欢上农场生活，而弗朗西斯和母亲在与汤姆的接触中也陷入一场心理游戏…《汤姆的农场旅行》讲述一位年轻同志参加男友葬礼，发现自己与男友的关系是秘密，然后更进一步发现恋人的母亲与哥哥也有自己的秘密；由于他的意外出席，引发哥哥不惜使用暴力也要隐藏的动机。这是一部心理惊悚片，全片以层层剥丝的方式来挖掘当事人隐晦的相互关系，风格冷僻，过程令人不寒而栗。电影由年轻加拿大导演多兰自编、自导、自演、自剪，并自做服装设计，再现了他的多兰美学与“不可能之爱”。《汤姆的农场旅行》入围第70届威尼斯电影节主竞赛单元，获得国际影评人费比西奖(FIPRESCI)。
