Amidst the anger and disappointments there were so many tender moments. Yet even in the tender moments the harsh reality of past woundings seem to bleed through. I loved the way that these strong actors showed such emotion. The story spoke to me of how hard it is for both parent and child to get passed things that happened so long ago.
Before viewing it I wondered if the almost two and a half hour run time might need a bit of editing. Looking back I am not sure what I would have cut from it. The supporting cast did a good job. I really liked this one and, on a scale of ten, give it ★★★★★★★★.

ReplyDeleteI think you might enjoy it Pearlie.
DeleteBob, my sister and I watched it this weekend too and we also thought it was a very good film.
ReplyDeleteWatched it the same weekend? How cool Barbara. Did you catch it on HBO like we did?
DeleteWhen this movie came out the trailers just didn't draw me to the show to see it. I have since seen it on DVD and loved it. I actually watched it twice this weekend because it just came out on one of our premium channels. I love both of them too and this movie is a keeper. I'm thinking I should buy it to show to my dad when I visit him later this month.
ReplyDeleteWe saw it on HBO Debby. They showcase a new movie every Saturday night.
DeleteI was going to see it with my daughter when it came out, and then things happened and we had to cancel our day together. I need to rent it.
ReplyDeleteI think that you might enjoy it Wanda.
