About To Set Our House in Order
In coming to grips with previously well-concealed information about the death of her uncle in World War I, and the emotional upheaval it continues to cause her family, a young girl begins to question the benevolence of God and the order in God's world. Based on the short story by Margaret Laurence.
Directed by Anne Wheeler, To Set Our House in Order leans on a strong ensemble — Tom Heaton, Josephine Stebbings, Maureen Thomas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1985.
