BEACHES was the last thing Barbara Hershey did with any value whatsoever. Not since her Seagull days has she been much. Usually she only drags down the scenes in which she appears; her co-stars generally escape relatively unscathed, unless they're in the scene with her. In DROWNING ON DRY LAND,however, Hershey manages to sabotage her male co-star, Naveen Andrews. Even an actor with the potential already evident in this '99 film is helpless when acting with a wooden leading lady. The scenes in which Andrews is alone are excellent; those with Hershey are painful.
If you want to see what Andrews was before "Lost," check this out. Just be ready for the mind-death that is Barbara Hershey's acting.
