    Vanessa Redgrave is vivid and touching as always. She alone raises this out of the ordinary, the rest of the cast is okay if a bit ill defined and there is a considerable schmaltz factor but Vanessa overcomes all obstacles.

    This is one of the most powerful movies that I have EVER seen! If you've ever lost someone that you love... then this movie is a must to see... Be sure and grab some tissue before snuggling up to watch it.

    Apparently I can't rate lower than 2.5, I have no idea why. But this gets a 2. It's nice and all, but...what the hell?
