Delightfully impressive!
Angela Lansbury is, as usual, at her best portraying a mature woman who has to learn to stand her own ground when her family tries to persuade her to do otherwise. This delightful story takes place in the suburbs of England, with many scenic views of the ocean and countryside. After spending some time in a hospital, and then recuperating at the home of her daughter, Angela feels the need to "move on" and return to her own home. She also has the desire to "go back" to something she feels she has lost over the years, but is not exactly sure what that is. However, her children think that she should sell her things (primarily art work of her father's), spread the wealth around, and live with her children for the remainder of her life. The people who come into her life, and the way in which she deals with them, as well as her children, and finally finding what she thought "she had lost" is sheer joy as you reach the conclusion of this heart-touching story.
