Excellent acting and well written play by JSR  5 Stars
January 08, 2009
I first saw this movie on Showtime and thought how well written the story is. The acting was excellent. The "message" of the movie stayed with me long after I saw the movie. I wanted to share it with friends and ordered extra copies to give at Christmas. They also liked the movie quite a lot. I highly recommend this movie.

My Favorite Movie by Ella F. Oppenheimer (Panama City, Florida, USA) 5 Stars
January 06, 2009
Moving, funny, smart, multi-layered humor, wisdom packed.....this wonderful play by virland s harris was directed by Stan Irwin and brought to life with sterling performances by it's outstanding 5 woman cast. It's a work of genius, beautifully done. This movie is Academy Award worthy and it's a shame it didn't make it to the Big Screen theaters to be seen by the wider audience it so richly deserves. Do yourself a favor and buy this movie..... and tell your friends about it!

An age of endurance and poignance by marcus (Kansas City, MO) 5 Stars
December 08, 2008
This is a must see movie on so many levels. The two lead actresses
(Cicely Tyson and Louise Fletcher) are enormously gifted and sharing
their skills at the height of their craft. The script to wonderfully
tight, drawing the audience to make a strong emotional and intellectual
investment in the story. The cinematography is accessible, providing
images that are familiar but not overly comfortable. As an art form,
this is a tender yet biting tale of character. As a piece of social
education, it should be required viewing for all those who are in the
position of eldercare giver. This movie will have you thinking about
the circumstances and situations long after you viewed it. If not
before the final credit plays, you will be thinking of all those you
wish would also see the film -- to help them understand a most complex
part of the closing of life. Let's hope that this author and producer
has more to share with us in the future.

Neurotically Charming by Kathleen Dahl (Boulder Creek, CA) 5 Stars
December 01, 2008
Each time I have watched this film the more I appreciate it. Ms. Fletcher and Tyson are amazing professionals who carry this film elegantly and credibly. Their friendship is a true sisterhood despite their many differences. You can run through the gamut of feelings of how our elders are treated and viewed and how they adapt.

Unexpected Shining Star by Kai Martinson (Los Angeles, CA) 5 Stars
October 30, 2008
I was very pleasantly surprised in watching this movie. The performances from both leads were incredibly real. The cinematography was beautiful and the storyline was believable. For a non-Hollywood movie, this is a shining star among independent films. This movie should be on everybody's list.
