Yes I loved it. I picked it up (the film) just because Emily Watson was in it. I haven't seen many of her pictures, maybe 4 or 5, but then, they were all very good films, and I consider her such a fine actress that to see her name prompted my decision to rent this film. I suppose that after 30 films or so where she has been appearing, the fact that she is no beauty queen, made her come to her senses and realize that the best action for her in the movies was to be a natural, plain, excellent actress (my speculation, probably not hers). She bet on that and she won. I'm sure she worked more than many pretty faces known today forgotten tomorrow. This film is excellent. Everything in it works --I just found out that it was a made for TV production, a thing I never noticed while watching it (another point for never reading reviews before watching a movie). From the acting to the technical, no complains. The plot touches on a very delicate subject and it treats it superbly well. The unfolding of the original problem grows more and more out of any possible previous consideration, as much as a snowball rolls down the hill gathering more snow and becoming so huge that eventually will crush against the first firm obstacle in its way, as it was the case in this poignant story. The last scene is an overwhelming tear jerker, but then, a high class one, perfectly suited as a conclusion to the whole movie. Do not miss it!!

What a beautiful movie. Great acting. Tearjerker for sure. I actually have watched it several times. I would highly recommend watching it with a box of tissues near by.
This is truly a heartbreaking tale about the mother of two twins, there is tragedy involved but all works out fine. Great performances by cast members with a nice surprise at the end. Wonderful storyline, I would watch it over again.
Dermot Mulroney and Emily Watson are appealing in this sad film.
It deals with a spur of the moment decision that has a lasting impact on the lives of several people throughout a 22 year period.
When his wife gives birth to twins, the boy is normal but the girl has Down's Syndrome. In a moment of misery, Mulroney tells his wife that the girl died in childbirth. He gives the baby to Nurse Watson with the instructions for her to bring the child to a home. When Watson sees the conditions in the home, she flees with the baby. Meeting a stranger in a snowstorm, she runs off to Pittsburgh with the baby and weds.
The film shows that the "Down Child" had a perfectly normal life whereas the boy along with Mulroney and his unfaithful wife, encounter nothing but misery along the way.
We should realize that it would take a death for everything to come out and this is exactly what occurs.
Watson is just wonderful as the compassionate, understanding nurse who gave so much of herself to the child.
This was a wonderful film and should not be missed.

Does anyone know the name of the song that Paul is playing on the guitar when the family is vacationing at the beach???
I really enjoyed the book, but I wasn't entirely thrilled with the way the movie turned out. The book kept me turning the pages... I really thought that the movie didn't portray the struggle that Caroline went through with Phoebe growing up and her passion for her as a mother.
It really only touched on many of the aspects of the book and in my opinion the movie was sort of a quick synopsis of the book. The acting was OK... not Oscar-worthy or anything, just OK.
It was, however, entertaining, but I'm glad I read the book first!

- WissenswertesMuch of the dialogue in this film was taken straight from the novel.
- PatzerWhen Caroline is placing the money that she had received from David in the cookie jar, the twenty dollar bill that she puts in was actually produced in 2006 and would not have been available during that time.
