Had not heard of this Award-winning movie before

Had not heard of this Award-winning movie before but was given a DVD and found it a very interesting surprise. The writing by one of the stars is both powerful and observant – Hume Cronyn as writer/star gives a strong performance as the feisty husband of Jessica Tandy (his real-life wife) and father to John Denver's character, Dillard Nations. Denver is the son who left the mountain home of his youth following several disagreements with his father and settled in the city – now married with two children, he's just begun to build popularity as a singer/songwriter. I've always regarded Denver as a convincing performer and comfortable with comedy and drama (in fact one of the better singers to transfer into acting). Here, he's been booked to sing in his home town and has come to visit his Mom, his father has been dead several years and he's hoping to convince mother to sell up and move into a care facility in the city – allowing the family to visit often. Mom has been carrying on conversations with Dad (who's buried in the family garden) this is a concern to Denver, who is also struggling with his own domestic situation back in the city – so, following various involved reminiscences, the families past dramas are relived and the two agree to come to an agreement about the future. It's a moving story, with Mr Denver getting a chance to sing several good new songs (seems these were written for this film as they form part of the storyline) The settings are visually impressive with all performances being fully professional - delightful Harriet Hall is perfect as a resident local The only downside is the transfer to DVD that's rather heavy on the blacks but this can be compensated by lifting the playback contrast to lighten the shadows. Good mature family entertainment. Some have unfairly criticised it because it doesn't fall into the traps of clichéd, overly romanticised writing.

This is a good movie, because it makes

This is a good movie, because it makes you think about being old, and how it is mentally, when you are old. Along with death, and how a family handles it. This movie is worth seeing.
