4.0 out of 5 stars Compelling Human Drama, November 30, 2006

This review is from: Between Two Women [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After her highly acclaimed Emmy nominated performance in The Burning Bed, Fawcett made this compelling telemovie about the relationship between a wife and her mother in-law, and how they eventually reach common ground and love after the elder woman suffers a devasting stroke.

The superb late lamented Colleen Dewhurst drives the movie with a commanding performance as the mother-in-law from hell. She is at once hateful, tragic and sympathetic in a role that won her an EMMY for best supporting actress.Its a travesty that Fawcett was once again overlooked as she matches Dewhurst scene for scene in a deeply nuanced study. The movie is played out in flashback...and is absolutely essential viewing for lovers of 'human stories'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vulturism and motherhood, April 16, 2002

This review is from: Between Two Women [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A young woman marries a painter, but she discovers, to her utmost outrage, that her mother in law cannot stay outside their marriage or her husband's career. She is a vulture in a way and feeds on other people. That drives the daughter in law crazy, especially the inability of her husband to put his mother back in place. This goes on till the mother has a stroke and becomes a bedridden invalid. Then the relation between the daughter in law and the mother in law develops to an extreme enslavement, so complete that the daughter in law cannot accept the mother in law's death when it occurs. This absolute dependence is so well built that it becomes admirable even if repulsive. The vulture triumphs till her death, and even beyond her death.
