Overview
A look at the lives of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose paths have diverged until a family crisis brings them back to the Midwest house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional woman who raised them.
I can’t believe that this film only got 64% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The criticism was similar to that of Wolf of Walls Street: “I hated the characters and emptiness of the film so I hated the film”. Shame on you if you think this way. Who would have ever thought that Julia Roberts could hang with Meryl Streep? The dinner scene along was worth the price of admission. I wish they made more films like this one.
