In Oregon's rugged mountains, the Stamper family runs an independent logging business led by stubborn patriarch Henry and his strong-willed son Hank. When they refuse to join a local union strike, the community grows resentful, and family rifts intensify. As tensions climb, the Stampers cling to pride, even as tragedy threatens to rip them apart.

The New Beverly

Quentin Tarantino

Sometimes a Great Notion is a good somewhat compromised movie, that is justly famous for one of the greatest scenes in early seventies cinema.

Newman's security, both behind and in front of the camera, is overwhelming. [Full Review in Spanish]

A New Hollywood movie suffused in Old Hollywood values.

It's not a classic, in the sense of being perfectly formed. But the craft work is one of a kind.

Based on Ken Kesey's book, Newman's second film as helmer is not effective or cohesive as the first (Rachel Rachel), but Oregon locations and good acting by Henry Fonda and others compensate for uneasy fit between melodrama and action
