Beverly lowry crossed over film

Great actors doing their best but not much of a story

Based on her novel, Beverly (Diane Keaton) and Ethan Lowry (Maury Chaykin) lose their son in a hit and run incident.

Crossed Over is a Canadian television film directed by Bobby Roth, and starring Diane Keaton as Beverly Lowry and Jennifer Jason Leigh as Karla Faye.

Beverly can't accept his death unsolved, and it puts a great strain on their marriage. She's a novelist interviewing Karla Faye Tucker (Jennifer Jason Leigh). She befriends Karla and works out her own personal issues.

These are great actors in a TV movie.

There isn't much of a plot.

Crossed Over tells the true story of a woman, Beverly Lowry, who after the tragic hit-and-run death of her teenage son, sinks into a deep depression.

The interview in the prison isn't that dynamic. It's all depending on the actors putting life into these characters. They do their best, but there isn't enough for them to do. JJL does a good job.

Keaton is emoting everything in her arsenal. The problem may be that this is a Beverly Lowry movie rather than a Karla Faye Tucker movie. KFT is the more compelling character. I also don't care for the black and white flashbacks with testimonial voice overs.
