Diane Ladd and Lukas Haas are nothing short of remarkable as mother and son in this quiet family-centered coming-of-age piece. Duvall is, of course, great. And, Laura Dern makes the difficult title role her own by making her character's weakness and vulnerabilities also her strengths and virtues. Kevin Conway is marvelous as a supercilious doctor. The beginning is painfully slow, but those who stick with it will be rewarded.
