Movie Haiku:Long & leisurely 2-part drama gives wonderful cast room to stretch & breathe. Richard Russo adapted his own beloved novel updating “Bedford Falls” to Maine. Anchored by Harris in the “George Bailey” role (the guy who almost got away before family obligations pulled him back ever tighter). Thank you, HBO!
