K Callan fan

I never miss a K Callan movie, she was great in "Joe." In this film she is so subtle with her movements and words it is wonderful.

I am not familiar with the actress who played her daughter, but she also was very good. Her performance seemed to come from somewhere deep inside. Perhaps she was portraying her own self?

I also want to comment on the location. I believe that the setting was a very important supporting role. The story became much more complete and clear in the suburban neighborhood of small, single family homes with carefully tendered lawns.

This is a provocative movie which raises questions about whether the granddaughter will have the same relationship with her mother as her mother has with the grandmother. Will the granddaughter make the same choices with her life, and especially with men, as her grandmother and mother? It is up to the viewer to decide, will her life be better?
