Revisiting ‘Eden’

IN the article on Thomas Bezucha and his new movie, “The Family Stone” [“The Third-Time Charm,” Sept. 11], his previous feature, “Big Eden,” was described as “weakly reviewed and poorly attended.” The movie had been enthusiastically reviewed in The Times and received generally favorable reviews. As to attendance, most independent productions and virtually all gay-themed movies have trouble getting bookings. But if memory serves, “Big Eden” had a nice run at the Laemmle theaters in L.A. and a nice run in Santa Barbara.
