		Sissy Spacek stars as Carrie White, the beleaguered daughter of a religious kook (Piper Laurie) and a social outcast tormented by her cruel, insensitive classmates.
		Carrie, played brilliantly by Sissy Spacek, is beleaguered times two: she is a social outcast at school and harassed by the girls of the "in" crowd, and her religious-fanatic mother hovers over her, preaches at her, condemns her, berates her, and tries to be close to her at home.
		Besides Spacek's terrific, and terrifying, performance, Piper Laurie is wonderfully creepy as the intense, fervent, psychotic mother.

		The focus then turns to Frank's devastated parents, played with such unaffected layers of blindsided veracity by Sissy Spacek and Tom Wilkinson that it's impossible to take your eyes off them for the rest of the picture.
		Ruth (Spacek) retreats into her shuttered home and into the fl hole in her heart, hardly speaking to her husband.
		Matt (Wilkinson) tries to go about his daily life, but reminders of his son are everywhere (a still-indented pillow in his bedroom, 2x4s nailed to a tree trunk as a ladder to a boyhood perch), and without the mutual support he shared with his wife, he's soon driven to drink.

	Sissy Spacek: Badlands - Movie
		First off, I think that the cinematography, the use of music, and the overall directoral tone of the film are chillingly captivating, almost mesmerizing -- much like "Days of Heaven." But I also believe they mask an intolerable deficiency at the heart of this work, the ineffective characterization of our protagonists.
		Sheen and Spacek are wonderful actors, and so they lend credibility to the two lowlifes.
		Malick shhots his film in the tradition of John Ford, lot's of wide shots of the praries, especially nice touch was the mountain that Kit is chasing (but never gets to) at the end; a visual representation of the goal he'll never reach.
