    Don't miss this excellent movie!

    You may go into this movie expecting the typical made-for-TV movie downfalls (cheesy acting, cheap sentiment, washed-up stars, and low production values) but other than the tell-tale weak musical score, this movie delivers honest performances and a truly touching story of triumph over personal adversity.

    As an avid movie-goer, I can assure you that this movie is better than most of the movies I have seen in theaters during the past few years. All the performances were top-notch, with a stand-out performance by Lynn Redgrave, who makes you hate her, yet redeems herself in the end.

    I count Annabeth Gish's depiction of a mentally challenged person as convincing as those of A-list actors who have attempted similar roles in the past.

    Powerful drama, well acted, very moving.

    The story is about a mother who stops loving her daughter who becomes backward after an automobile accident. Lynn Redgrave as the mother is positively hateful. Miss Gish as the daughter is outstanding. She is married to a retarded man and they have a normal daughter that Redgrave attempts to take away from them. It is heartbreaking. It makes you thankful for being normal after seeing the hardships of being retarded. Redgrave's husband and Gish's daughter are also fine actors. Unfortunately the ending was too happy for what went before. The movie is a dramatic tour-de-force.
