  I watched this years ago and can remember being quite disappointed with it. Enough time has now gone by that I felt like a re-watch. Has it improved with age? Well, yes and no. First of all, it is a little on the dull side. I don't think the story of a young woman, Finn (Winona Ryder), who goes to stay with her older female relatives who are part of a quilting circle would be too many people's idea of riveting viewing. Finn is recently engaged and has cold feet, so she becomes interested in hearing about the romantic lives of her relatives and their friends, which she is also using as a thesis topic. In flashback form, we see the disappointments and hardships these strong women have faced, as well as the parts that made it seem worthwhile. It's sentimental and a little cliched in that way American movies seem to be, but it is nice in its way. I think maybe it's a film that improves with repeat viewings, as there are quite a few female characters here, plus their younger selves, it can get a little confusing as to who is who! The acting is excellent. A really good cast here. I think this is more a movie to appeal to an older female audience. Not one for young girls as they will be bored, as I was first time I watched this, I was not at an age to relate to the older women here. Men also, I think would be bored - even older ones! I recommend it, but with reservations. Maybe one to watch on tv !

  Winona visits her grandmonther and joins her sewing circle and learns about their relationships. Touching movie.

  great actresses but it misses being being great by being too diffuse and ends up unsatisfying

  A sewing circle muses about life and love. Now THAT's what I call entertainment...

  Oh Lord. Overly sentimental rubbish. Please keep me away from films like this.

  A wonderful, talented cast tells the story about a young woman named Finn who lives with her grandmother and great aunt for the summer while she thinks over a marriage proposal and works on a grad school thesis. A group of women who grew up together are all part of a quilting bee and they share their love stories with Finn. She learns about love from their stories.

  Not without merit by highlighting the silent sacrifices of women from more repressed times, but still pretty dull.

  <a href="http://tinypic.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i30.tinypic.com/hs3ss6.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> Winona Ryder's role in this typical American movie, was nothing more then breathtaking. The message brought in here was clearly. It was about a young woman Finn (Winona) who was about to get married with her long time fiance(Dermot Mulroney). She decided to pass the summer away from him to be sure of her feelings and to be with her great aunts. These aunts were quilt makers for years and while she was there they told her their stories of their past life.The movie unfold these flashbacks stories beautifully. So Finn discovered that love was not perfect, and that you must appreciate what you have.Good performances by Anne Bancroft and Ellen Burstyn.
