    I thought this was an excellent movie about a controversial and difficult decision made very public because of the fame of the mother. HBO always delivers good movies. All the actors were also great! Sandi S.

    Jean R.

    I remember watching Romper Room on TV when my now grown kids were quite small. Was horrified to discover how her community at the time reacted when the Finkbines (who were loving parents) painfully made the decision to terminate the pregnancy of a badly damaged fetus.

    Kathryn R.

    With Insipid acting from both leads, this movie is a disappointment in its wimpy treatment of the travesty caused by the drug Thalidomide.
