I first chose to watch "Cavedweller" when I recognized the names of Kyra Sedgwick and Aiden Quinn, and although the title was intriguing, the full meaning didn't reveal itself until much later. This movie, like real life, is about facing difficult, dark, and echoing choices.
Kyra Sedgwick is very believable in her portrayal of the character, Delia, who returns to her small town birthplace of family, friends, and foes. Her patience, subtle strength and will to overcome great odds and criticism, is shown through her actions and inactions of past and present events. Her values and personality are examined with contrasts, balance, and the responsibility to believe in one's self no matter the resulting rewards or failures. And while Delia's three daughters are unique in their own innocence and individuality, each one is a transformed facet of her total personality.
Aiden Quinn delivers a credible performance as Clint, the "mama's boy" abusive husband. To me, one word describes his role - karma.
As a viewer I became completely immersed and wanted to write myself into the script as a coach and say, "Tell them!"
I can relate to the many of the underlying themes. After several years absence on returning to a small town birthplace, where everybody "thinks" they know everybody else's business, I found renewed hope. We can all choose to either rail against the darkness or light a candle.
