How did it get to theaters? Lifetime Channel at best.

Rating: Null/10 (26 May 2001)

Moral of the story? The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Could someone please tell me what was so EXCEPTIONAL about this woman's performance? And if it is, indeed, Julia's BEST performance, than why is she the most valuable actress in Hollywood? She did an ADEQUATE job. It was good to see Albert Finney. His reaction shots were THE only humor in the movie. And why did they find it necessary to alter the truth of the story? And why did they feel they needed to stretch a 90 minute story into a movie that was over two hours? I don't get it. The Oscars may have meant something long ago, but today, as a barometer for measuring quality film making, they're worthless. The yearly Oscar ceremony is a party, period.
