Just struggled through Grindstone Rd.
It's not awful - it looks fine in a TV film way - and passes the time. But it is such a hackneyed collection of cliché And the dialogue! Ouch. Really badly written indeed.
But Fairuza Balk is in it ( I love her!) and though not at her best, she carries things along by throwing herself into matters. Greg Bryk is woefully miscast as her husband though - he looks like a weaselly villain type and it's hard to buy him as a psychiatrist and family man.
Also, you will guess the plot very easily indeed!
Sad really, Balk deserves better than this kind of thing. Her career seems to be winding down into low rent trash and bit-parts.
