Not as good as the book; they left out almost everything from the first half of the book, I guess because those things happened in the western states. (WV must have been the main attraction in the movie because it's the stereotypical image of poverty. Let's keep deluding the public that Phoenix, AZ is a city with nothing but glamor and prosperity and no urban blight.) It also didn't tell things in chronological order. The book wasn't perfect with that either, but the movie really kept jumping back and forth between past and present. If you haven't read the book, this movie is a good drama. If you like the movie, read the book. It's even better.
