Critics Reviews

The New York Times
The general talent and dedication of the ensemble mitigate the script's occasional lapses into sentimentality and noisy confrontation.
TV Guide
This Australian tear-jerker finds more humor than you'd imagine possible in the story of a dying woman getting to know her adult children.
