i feel privilege to have accidentally see this movie . i actually ran across this movie by accident . i be tap another movie on showtime one night and overnight and this movie come on afterward . so i sat and watch it and boy be i blow away . the acting be absolutely superb . kathy bates . who have be my favorite actress since misery and fry green tomato give an amazing performance a a domineer mother who try desperately to hold on to her old school value ( religion and family ) at the risk of alienate her family . martin sheen be superb a the tough patriarch who be really not in control of anything in his life or family . the one thing i really love about this movie be how it tell what happen when the hero come home . it show the true damage that be do to our soldier after they fight pointless war for political and financial gain . this movie just blow me away and i feel bless to have accidentally tap this movie and see it . this be a must see for anyone who want a true drama and this be not too melodramatic and preachy and but pull at your heartstrings like none other .
