A Touching and Beautiful Film - not to be missed!
8 July 2002
After watching the sacharine and inept attempts to cover anything of this nature on film - what a joy to find this intelligent and moving account dealing with a young man dealing with the loss of his mother and an older woman who has lost her son - but has found a way of communication with the dead. Vanessa Redgrave is riviting as the woman who takes the time and great effort to comfort and teach this young man. Mr. O'Fallon is to be congratulated on his fine and detailed direction - the cinematographer provided beautiful pictures, the score is marvelous and includes some great Mozart, the cast is extraordinary - each of them giving heartfelt and honest portrayels of these very human and loving people in a painful situation. This is a sweet, gentle yet very real story - beautifully told and realized. Please - if it is not in your local moviehouse - rent it! You will not be dissappointed.
