All that Heaven Allows

All that Heaven Allows was an okay movie in my opinion. I would give it 3 out of 5 stars. The movies was melodramatic in the way that the music was used. In the sweet happy scenes with Ron and Carrie together nice, romantic music played. While in other scenes like when Carrie rejected him sad, dramatic movies played. It also included the dramatic shift of emotions typical to a melodrama. For example after the aforementioned scene where Carrier rejected Ron, it was happy again once Ron consoled her when she was said, happy music also accompanied this. What, I didn't really like about the movie was nothing really happened. It wasn't a particularly interesting film until the "sad or scary" moments. There were only two of these interesting bits in my opinion. One was when it seemed like Howard was going to take advantage of Carrie at Sarah Warren's party. Another moment was when it seemed like Ron died in an accident, and that Carrie who had finally came to the conclusion that she was going to be with Ron, was not going to be able to tell him that she loved him. I really only ended up liking the movie because of the way that it ended. I like happy or "happy-ish" endings and All that Heaven Allows finished on sort of happy a note. Carrie ended up getting Ron, albeit a bit injured, but she got him nonetheless. So I was happy with that ending.
