Movie Reviews

Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatRevolves around the yearning an elderly woman has to visit the farmstead where she grew up and raised her own family.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyIn this small, sharply observed tale from Horton Foote, the great Geraldine Page plays an elderly widow, who longs to go back to her idyllic small-town roots; shapeless, the film is mostly a showcase for its actors.
