I saw this film on the television today, as I've seen some of it before and wanted to watch the whole thing. I'm glad I did. The performances are stunningly good, and the story is heartbreaking.
You watch how the mother falls to pieces, when her druken no good husband does everyone (you should have thought) a favor and shoots himself. Well not so, - inspite of being beaten into a pulb on a regular basis - she falls to pieces when he dies. Isn't it a strange world somethimes! I love Oprah, but still without her, it would have been a wonderful film. I was in tears at the end of the film, and only wish the story had continued. Yes certainly worth a watch, but not at all for children.
