Hi,
Hubby and I watched a DVD called Off The Map with Sam Elliott and Joan Allen and a few others. It takes place in New Mexico and makes great use of the mysteries of the desert. Sam Elliott's character is depressed for most of the movie. The director did a great job of showing the bone drenching misery of deep depression without making the movie itself depressing.

Sam Elliot is an amazing actor . . . his character is totally incapable of anything besides sitting in the dark. .. And this is believable to watch . .
Meanwhile his family worries, lumbers on, and hopes he comes out of the depression.

It was uplifting. A bit slow.
