This movie was shown in Hallmark and at first I didn't mind it since I don't know who is Natalie Wood herself (considering my non-interest to old US movies). Since my mom watch the movie and there was nothing to do on that day, I sat next to her and then... I was in awe.

I usually didn't care much about this A-child-growing-to-be-a-teenage-to-be- mother-and-then-die kind of story but I spend the hours till the end with tears. (seriously) I was intrigue with the actresses like Justine Wadell and Alice Krige, they are such great actresses to portray their character with all their might.

Overall, the movie was a great recollection of the days of Natalie Wood for her fans and also non-fan (like me). After that, I bought most of her old movies like West Side Story, Rebel Without a Cause and etc (which is, solely for my English Lit revision as I was studying Shakespeare for Romeo and Juliet)
