Director Kari Skogland takes the reins for a Buffalo Gals Pictures production starring Academy Award winner Ellen Burstyn as author Margaret Laurence's much-lauded heroine Hagar Shipley. Hagar may by 90, but she not ready to lie down and die just yet. Her decisions stem straight from her heart, and that often alienates her family and friends. When Hagar's son, Marvin (Dylan Baker), takes his mother to look at a nursing home, she takes it as her cue to leave her family behind and set out on one great last journey. Her mission is to locate the seaside home she remembers from her youth, but Hagar's memory is quickly fading, making it difficult for her to distinguish the past from the present. As a young girl, Hagar was set to inherit her father's mercantile empire until she was disowned for marrying a bold young man named Bram Shipley (Cole Hauser). Later, when Hagar's romantic illusions fade and she begins to view her husband with contempt, her decision to deny her children the kind of parental approval that she so badly longed for from her own father provokes a deep hereditary flaw. As she makes her way toward the seashore, Hagar realizes her time is running far too short to make up for a lifetime of unacknowledged mistakes. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    As always, what can you expect from Ellen Burstyn except excellence. This is a very touching story full of strong characters passionately torn between seeking one's own path and staying together as a family.

    This was one of the most moving films I've seen in a long while...Ellen Burstyn is fabulous..certainly Oscar worthy material..a true star and the centerpiece of this saga..the rest of the cast certainly complement Ellen's role as the family matriarch..there is never a dull moment and the drama is both compelling and captivating..bravo for Kari Skogland who directs this masterpiece..41/2 stars

    Good show. A little long but I liked it. My husband didn't care for it. Ellen Burstyn was very good in it.
