What Far from Heaven is

A powder-blue 1957 Oldsmobile idles in a Connecticut driveway while the nachos are burning. Cathy Whitaker’s perfect life springs a leak when her husband’s affair goes postal and her gardener’s son gets set on fire by the PTA. Haynes re-stages Douglas Sirk in brighter hues to show that Eisenhower’s dream home was just a ranch with more plumbing problems.
