    Diane Keaton does a magnificent job with her role as a "I'm the center of attention" mom grieving the loss and exploring the life of her "I'm the center of attention" daughter. Some of the dialogue seems unnatural, maybe a touch stagey, but it gets better once Keaton arrives at the summer house.

    I love me some Diane Keaton - and she didnt disappoint one bit in this role. I dont expect a Grammy performance from a low budget indie type film - so this was a great watch and she did an excellent job with the role given. The movie has a great storyline and although couldve been formed into so much more - it was a good view that held my interest from start to finish. I recommend this movie for Keaton fans especially.
