Review
Set in the 50s, 70s and 90s, this is an often moving tale of three different women living in the same house dealing with the same thing...an unplanned pregnancy. Demi Moore plays a woman struggling with the death of her husband and in pain turns to his brother with uncomfortable and ultimately tragic consequences. Sissy Spacek plays a working class mom whose house is already over-crowded. When she finds out she's pregnant it's her feminist (read: liberated) daughter who's pushing her towards termination but the decision is ultimately hers. Finally we see Anne Heche playing an architecture student who got too close to her teacher. The combination of guilt money from him, activists in front of the clinic, and a disapproving best friend leave her wondering if an abortion is really the way to go. But when the decision is finally made strong politics make for unexpected events. Great drama, well acted by the leads, supported by an excellent cast of cameos.
