Just about ready to dive into this film, but had to come here first to say: Screenwriter is Marsha Norman?? Holy cow!! An AMAZING playwright. Won a Pulitzer for her play "'night, Mother" which I was honored to get to act in 40 years ago. There's also a film version starring Sissy Spacek and Anne Bancroft with astonishing performances by both women. Be prepared to weep if you check it out. I don't ususally write with superlatives, but it's remarkable work all the way around. (Back to the movie!)
What an inspirational movie; and a happy, feel-good ending! Awesome acting and strong encouraging women roles. Made my day. I seldom watch these movies to the end, but I will watch this one over and over. I wish we could see more like this. Thank you so much!!!
