with a cast list like this one and i expect far well . venessa redgrave spend the majority of the movie lying in bed . the best actress in the world can not make anything very interest when their acting be limit to lie down and fall asleep throughout the entire movie . the plot summary say that a secret be reveal to the daughter a their mother come close to death . the thing be and she never tell her daughter anything except cryptic advice to be happy . all the relationship in the movie be underdeveloped . i also felt that the back and forth between the past and present be unnecessary . it seem a if the idea be steal either from the book the da vinci code in which the device be use to increase suspense and or from the notebook in which they use the device to create the never end romance of the story main character . either way it be a cheap device in this movie because it do not work to create anything . it be a way to attempt suspense in a movie that have none . i leave wonder why good movie can not be write for woman . it really be a disappointment .
