Great movie!, 25 October 1999
10/10
Author: Texasguy from Sarah Lawrence College

Although this film pales in comparison to the beautiful play it was based on, this is still nonetheless worth watching. Joan Plowtwright is excellent as the mother, while the film is commanded by a talented British ensemble. The story is often funny, poignant, and heartbreaking as it tells the wonderful story of one family's strength to endure.
