I hadn't seen this movie since it's original release. It is still amazing and so moving. One of the most interesting aspects of this movie is the way it was filmed I don't feel it will ever seem "dated". I vigorously recommend this movie to allow someone to view yet another aspect of a mother/daughter relationship. Sissy Spacek is outstanding in her demeanor in discussing her desires with her mother, and Anne Bankroft is heart wrenching in her portrayal of a mother hearing of the tortured lonely life of her child and unable to do anything to help her. The film's intimate feeling allowed you to be right in the kitchen with them while they organize and clean their way through an inconceivable conversation. One I pray I will never have to have with my child.
