When We Last Spoke

An important film about love, forgiveness, family values and the strength provided by strong role models! See Melissa Gilbert transform from a child on the prairie to a MAMAW raising grandchildren during the Vietnam "war". Cloris Leachman & Corbin Bernsen were both a joy also. Watch this film with children of ALL AGES because it's a teaching moment. If you have no kids, borrow some because you might just learn some lessons yourself! 💘

It was nice to watch a movie that actually had some content in it, as opposed to just swearing and violence. The movie told the story and it told it well.

A fun-filled, heartwarming film for the whole family, this movie caught my eye with it's old fashioned setting and featuring of some of my favorite actors.

Melissa Gilbert and Corbin Bernsen were excellent as Grandma Ruby and Papo, who take in sisters Juliet and Evangeline when their father goes to war in 1967. This was an engaging and well written and acted film, wholesome and heartwarming it is a feel-good movie that you can comfortably share with others, knowing that it will bring smile to their face. I had such a great time watching this one with my parents. The pacing was great, I never felt like there was a dull or stagnant moment.

This was such a fun entertaining film, I loved that it had its lighter moments as well as more serious ones, as the sisters struggle to understand what is going on around them. I was so impressed with this movie, and its wholesome winsomeness and charm, as well as its well paced plot and endearing characters. The late Cloris Leachman is a gem as Great-Grandmama, though Papo had to be my favorite! I would highly recommend this movie to fans of the popular When Calls the Heart or Little House on the Prairie.

I received a complimentary code to view this movie. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Based predominately in the late 1960s, this film has many happy and sad moments, just like real life. There are some hilarious times, some beautiful sentimental moments, and some very sad moments. Oscar and Emmy award winner, Cloris Leachman steals the show. Young power houses Darby Camp and Chandler Head also hold their own with veterans Corbin Bernsen and Melissa Gilbert.

First, the cars have to be right for a period movie and they were for the late 60's. I hate it when I see a 70's car in a 60's period movie. This is a TV movie that contains some exceptional acting. I agree with "jonathangrubbs" that Cloris Leachman, Darby Camp and Chandler Head were very good. There was one scene, however, where Corbin Bernsen was downright GREAT.
