An intriguing and important watch

Feb 7, 2006 | Rating: 3/5
Film Threat

A sappy success, mixing laughter, drama and trepidation, but most of all, heart.

Oct 25, 2003 | Rating: 73/100 | Full Review…
Apollo Guide

A lifeless domestic drama that drags its sentimental heels about the childless stagnation of a middle-aged couple. Want an emotional uplift? Attend a PTA meeting instead!

May 27, 2003 | Rating: 2/5
Movie Eye

Lovely performances elevate this predictable drama.
