    Nice.
  • July 15, 2007
    A sad movie about kids coming home to their terminally ill mother, and dealing with old unresolved issues with each other, and the grumpy father.

    Just a great movie all around.

Soft Fruit belongs ... to the divine Ms. Drynan, who plays a dying, unfulfilled, ordinary woman without embellishment or overstatement but with mischievous reserve and surprising sensuality. full review

    I found this movie by accident and what a find it was.It just takes you by surprise with the almost instant depth of characters and the story itself.About a really unruly and quirky and angry family.

    You tend to feel pity for the son.The mother is sweet as can be and completely ruled by her husband,until she cant take it anymore.

    Watch this movie when you can and i can promise it will leave a lasting impression.
