| User ReviewNate THard to put into words other than to say a smashing performance by Megan Follows! |
| User ReviewPrivate UA Very Touching Story!! A story that everyone should see. |
| User ReviewSuveera AIn this powerful story of two sisters caught under the domineering authority of their self-absorbed mother, Megan Follows performance as an autistic woman was absolutely brilliant and nuanced in detail and accuracy. Amanda Plummer portrayed her strong and caring sister in an equally fascinating performance. Together both performances override the plot of the film and it can be classified as a chick flick. |
| User ReviewD MThis had some very fine performances and a sensitive treatment of the premise. There was a little too much going on for ninety minutes--and, deeply as I adore Teresa Stratas, it almost seemed like she needed her own movie. But the premise was interesting and is not often treated with such seriousness. I especially apprecated that it was not (Stratas notwithstanding) a thoroughgoing emotional potboiler. |
