    I'm still crying...

    I finished watching this movie for the first time almost 30 mins ago, and I'm still crying.

    This is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. I've always loved Bernadette Peters- the lady is so talented, but after watching this incredibly heartbreaking film, I'm in absolute awe of her.

    If you've never seen it, go and rent it- i guarantee it'll move your heart.

    thought provoking

    I found this movie quite by accident and from the very beginning was enthralled. Bernadette Peters portrayal of a woman dying of cancer was thought provoking. It made me think of my own reaction to life and death, and the relationships that bind us together. The friendship she had with Mary Tyler Moore's character is one I wish I had myself. I will watch this movie again and again and enjoy it's simplicity every time.
