Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The most powerful sequences in the movie are the linked vignettes involving Margaret and the various grown-up children whom she attempts to help in their search for -- what, exactly? Closure? Catharsis?

Emily Watson, a delicate English rose, has never seemed more sturdy than here.

The result is a problem drama with more problem than drama.

fresh:
Emily Watson, who always brings a special grace to the screen, gives a multilayered performance to the role of Margaret Humphreys, who not only puts her own family dynamic at risk but finds herself physically threatened.

rotten:
The sincerity of feeling is unmistakable. So's the flat-footedness of the writing.
