Last year a bought the DVD and my partner and I watched it as he'd never seen it.

It has lost none of it's impact more then 20 years later.
Nor the impact of Jane Alexander's heartbreaking performance!

Jane Alexander, Testament

My god, what a disturbing and affecting film. I haven't seen it in some years but it's one of those movies that's so exhausting and real that you almost hurt -- similar to the feeling I had after watching They Shoot Horses, Don't They?. Jane Alexander is fantastic in a devastating performance and was well-deserving of a nomination that year.
