An inspiring performance, too, 19 May 2004
Author: julikell from United States

An inspiring story, for sure. However, the story would have been lost if not for a great performance by Carey Lowell. In a script which could have easily fallen into the maudlin, Ms. Lowell portrays the lead with a grace and subtlety rarely seen on TV today, let alone Lifetime (where most movies deal with either rape, abortion, or homosexuality). Carey Lowell is a superb actress. Her roles have been varied and challenging -- LICENSE TO KILL, THE GUARDIAN, LAW AND ORDER, FIERCE CREATURES. Her performance here is nothing less then inspiring in itself. -jk
