I first saw this movie on Showtime and thought how well written the story is. The acting was excellent. The "message" of the movie stayed with me long after I saw the movie. I wanted to share it with friends and ordered extra copies to give at Christmas. They also liked the movie quite a lot. I highly recommend this movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars An age of endurance and poignance, December 8, 2008

This review is from: Fat Rose & Squeaky (DVD)

This is a must see movie on so many levels. The two lead actresses
(Cicely Tyson and Louise Fletcher) are enormously gifted and sharing
their skills at the height of their craft. The script to wonderfully
tight, drawing the audience to make a strong emotional and intellectual
investment in the story. The cinematography is accessible, providing
images that are familiar but not overly comfortable. As an art form,
this is a tender yet biting tale of character. As a piece of social
education, it should be required viewing for all those who are in the
position of eldercare giver. This movie will have you thinking about
the circumstances and situations long after you viewed it. If not
before the final credit plays, you will be thinking of all those you
wish would also see the film -- to help them understand a most complex
part of the closing of life. Let's hope that this author and producer
has more to share with us in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new classic look at friendship, aging and today's economy, October 12, 2008

This popular Showtime feature could not be better timed for today's society and economy. Two aging ladies learn to rely on each other to navigate the difficulties of living on a fixed income in an ever-more expensive world. The characters are real, the drama believable and the comedy timed just right to keep the film in balance. Terrific, you'll love it!
