Two closely-bound, emotionally wounded siblings reunite after years apart.

My review · Reviewed 07/25/2023

Make no mistake about it - this movie is a vehicle to show off Gena Rowlands acting, and she kills it in a very nuanced performance. Yes, there is a sweet love story at the heart of this movie... unfortunately there is little else going for it.
