Critic Reviews

  • Emanuel Levy, Variety

    Set in Dublin in 1967, this extremely old-fashioned melodrama, about the struggle of a young widow to support her large family, is a throwback to the woman's picture of yesteryear and barely a notch above TV-Movie-of-the Week.

  • Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com

    What can one say about a film whose idea of comedy is having the two women sit around discussing whether or not they've had an 'organism' or not?

  • Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan

    Great characterizations with Anjelica Huston giving bravura performance.

  • Boo Allen, Denton Record Chronicle (TX)

    Angelica Huston proves that her career lies in acting, not directing.

  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

    A terrific movie that affirms the natural highs of true and lasting friendship.
