 |  | How could it fail with Diane Lane?? |  |
I finally gave up waiting for the DVD so I bought the VHS tape. It's a great story and the usual superb performance by Diane Lane. I have all of her movies that are available including three others only available on VHS (National Lampoon Goes to the Movies, Lady Beware, and Priceless Beauty). A movie can't possibly be bad if she's in it. Priceless Beauty came close but Ms. Lane managed to salvage even that one.
August 26, 2008This was one of those great tv movies that I loved to watch over & over again. So sad & boy did I cry, but Diane Lane was GREAT!!
This SO needs to be on DVD!!!
April 18, 2008As a woman who was born with Cerebral Palsy, I have love this movie since 1980, when it was first released!! It gives the caual viewer, just a small taste of what it's like to have this disability!! And even more important it delves into what all human beings must face!! The emotions of the human heart!!:) To the power that be~~Please release this one on DVD!!
December 20, 2006This is a great movie that shows a great performance by Diane Lane, and it is a beautiful story.
June 21, 2006Well, after paying only four dollars for this movie, and having watched it, I know what a bargain I got! With an amazing picturesque (Canada?) setting, a deeply moving story and stellar acting, you cannot go wrong wth this one. I love Diane Lane now, and she is terrific in this, portraying the main character of Karen, Cerebal Palsy sufferer. You don't need to be an Elvis fan to like this movie either, it was his caring and compassion towards her that moved me more than anything, and I just felt so angry to think that this wonderful, brave young lady had been so totally abandoned by her family (or so it is alluded to, at any rate). The movie has a wonderful, langorous feel about it, the way that movies used to be made - nice slow build-up, with good dialogue and sumptious, lingering photography (unlike the horrible fast camera work, special effects packed, oh so try hard movies of today). I love simple stories (wish Hollywood would go back to basics), and from start to finish this movie is absorbing and deeply satisfying, if sad. My four year old son just loved it too.
Highly recommended.
