An amazing film., 20 January 2000
Author: Devyalento Latchford Deschanel from London, England

David's Mother is definitely one of the best TV movies ever made. Not only did it showcase some fantastic acting in an intriguing story, it finally proved Kirstie Alley as the brilliant performer that she is, doing both comedy and drama with ease. David's Mother has probably one of the best TV movie casts in history. Sam Waterston, Phylicia Rashad, Chris Sarandon, the moving Michael Goorjian and of course, the always perfect Stockard Channing as Bea. But David's Mother really shines with Kirstie Alley. She fully deserved that Emmy and should prove to be one of TV's greatest assets.
