Where did this one come from? A great all-star cast acts out an interesting and meaningful story in a movie that has received very little hype. Bening is 51 years old living a bitter life with her invalid mother. Pregnant at age 14, she had given up her daughter to adoption. Watts is that daughter, now a successful lawyer with a hard attitude and no desire to connect with her natural mother. Jackson and Smitz play important roles in the evolving conduct of the two women as you begin to anticipate that some way or another they will meet. The movie begins to drag a bit in the last 30 minutes and could’ve been tightened up. But other than this, it is well worth seeing.
