Period movie
If you love stories about families and all they entail (death, teen angst, falling outs & reconciliations) and you are a fan of another period of time in America you will LOVE this movie. This is one of my favorites which takes place in the late 1800's. The story is told through the heroine, a teenage girl who wants to be a writer. I feel that the for the time period, the difference between the poor, the upper middle class and the wealthy are portrayed spot on. The setting is very typical for a New England farm in a small town of the time. Jacqueline Bisset gives an excellent performance as the wealthy grandmother trying to help her struggling daughter and grandchildren despite her daughters not forgiving and therefore accepting her at first. It is really an insight into how families were forced to live when the principle breadwinner dies during a time before the social programs the New Deal gave us. This is not only a good Thanksgiving movie but it is a good movie for the entire family which will make everyone feel warm and good.

Heart-warming, Realistic Family Story.
This story is heart-warming, but not in a sugary sweet, sappy way, We can all relate to family problems, due to pride, hurt feelings, etc. This story helps us to see how torn families can be repaired, given time. Definitely worth seeing, every Thanksgiving. In short, it’s a heart-warming, realistic family tale.
