Dix ans d'absence

This is truly one of the most beautiful films that I have ever seen in my entire life! The performance of Joanna Kerns and Stephanie Zimbalist can only be described as SUPERLATIVE!!!!

Stephanie leaves her small kids as she cannot cope with the pressure of motherhood as a young woman. The incident so poignant is: her 4-year old daughter accidently spills some orange juice on the floor, and that is the last straw which leads to Stephanie leaving her kids. When she comes back after 10 years, the first thing her daughter says to her: Mom, I'm sorry about the orange juice. It brings REAL TEARS TO YOUR EYES as Stephanie starts to cry. I was so moved by the film, that I have spent 4 years trying to trace it for my personal collection, until I found it today.

I happened upon this movie by accident and I loved every minute of it. From what I remember it was great. Both Joanna Kerns and Stephanie Zimbalist played their roles fabulously. IMO, the best tv movie I've ever seen. I recommend this movie to any fan of either Joanna Kerns or Stephanie Zimbalist. You won't regret watching this one. A fabulous tv movie.

This movie is a touching portrayal of the emotional struggle that occurs when broken families grow and begin to heal. It is very well acted and directed. I don't know if they give awards for casting but one is due for this film. The cast of characters should be proud of their performances and the film crew as well. Very impressive and moving. Highly recommended.

Wow! I didn't expect too much from this movie. I like to watch movies from the 90s. Some of them haven't been great at all, but this surpassed all of my expectations. I'd definitely watch it again! It's a very emotional movie and I could really feel the raw emotion through Joanne Kerns wonderful acting. The two child actors were also incredibly believable too. It covers such a tough subject and feels so real throughout. Sometimes I do worry about how movies like this will end and I come away feeling frustrated often, but I would say they gave this movie the perfect ending and it went exactly how I hoped it would. It's not boring at all, I have awful concentration but didn't miss any of it. You definitely need to give this one a watch!
