He became very intrigued with Gloria Grahame and hadn’t realized that this was pretty much a true story. That a famous Oscar winning actress asks a close-knit family if she can stay with them while she’s in denial about her terminal illness, and they treat her like a member of their family as they try to figure out what to do.

She carries the full weight of this film and although I said it's not a sublime performance, it's still a great performance that shows the enormous consistency this great actress has had in her career, consistency she continues to maintain.

The film is pretty good but her work is the best reason to watch it.… Expand
