Heart wrenching. It always hits you that much harder knowing it's a true story.

Very moving biodrama. Debra Winger was wonderful. Some of the supporting acting was a little raw. Plenty of moments that choked me up. The ending was a complete surprise for me. I had no idea. I could barely hold it together.....

Debra Winger's awesome as a real-life title role who overcomes many of life's obstacles. I enjoyed viewing this drama film and the great unity of a family with their mother and each other. There was very joyous scenes and also very bitter and heart breaking ones. I was surprised the family used only one ASL sign language saying - "I love you'. So sweet!
