Custódia Do Coração

Gripping honest movie when a spouse is blindsided. Acting was good, just a little corny music at times like an after school special. There were several times i shed tears and cried once. The mom and son were the most powerful chatacters/actors. Overall, enjoyed it. It was well written in my opinion. Will be watching for others like this one!! Thank you to all involved in this movie and production. At least they did show when the dad lies and does things to hurt the mom which also hurts the kids but he doesn't care because he just wants her to suffer. Seeing that was too close to my heart and soul, that moved me the most.

Lorraine Bracco carried the movie along with the 2 child actors who were very very good in their roles. The dad was terrible, lackluster acting and lame and no chemistry with Ms Bracco.

I didn't see this movie back in 2000, but I would of liked it back then too.

Decent movie worth the watch.

I thought this was one of the best Lifetime MadeforTV movies I have seen, principally because of really strong,affecting performances by Bracco, McCarthy, and the always dependable Boutsikaris. I would give it 9 of 10 stars only because the script telegraphs its points a bit and because a woman as successful as the Bracco character seems written to be pretty dumb about some other, domestic/divorce/court matters.

I caught this movie by chance 5 minutes into the beginning, and I stayed because of beautiful Lorraine Bracco's impeccable passionate performance. She is one of many underappreciated actors in Hollywood. I expected the same of Martin Donovan. Throughout the movie I kept waiting for him to reveal something more than this strangely lacklustre, almost wooden performance, especially because he had made such a drastic move by turning his wife out of their house literally overnight. His performance did not give me any clues to his personality, but knowing and liking Mr.Donovan, I kept waiting till the end. The script did not provide anything and in the end it just peters out. It's a pity because it's such an everyday issue, most of us have been in that place at some point of our lives, but only one of the scenes with the children was really outstanding. I gave it 5 points only for Ms.Bracco!
