This was a very pleasent well composed movie. No blood and guts or shooting or car crashes. Just a nicely put together movie with good acting and characters with depth.

This was a beautiful film..the characterizations were genuine and most people could easily relate to them..I saw this film years ago but wasn't able to appreciate it until now..Mary Steenburgen does a terrific job in showing every subtlety of her character without ever overdoing it(like most films of today)..and the very young Alfre Woodard was magnificent..my,my compare her character here to the sophisticated judge in Primal Fear opposite Richard Gere no less; I was raised on a Farm in upstate New York during the thirties similar to the period shown in the film so it has relevance to my own life as a child and teenager..this film was one of the best I've seen in years..5 stars!!!

I like movies based on a true story. I really never new much about the author before the movie and did a little looking up about her after.

As a struggling writer, I use this film over and over to inspire me to what is important in the need to write. This is a beautiful film, with so many multi-dimensional characters, It is not probably going to be enjoyed by the larger audience who wants action and drama. It is as gentle yet powerful as The Yearling fawn that brought Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings her enduring fame. I love that they took such effort to recreate her life, just as it was, and Mary Steenburgen is perfect for the part!

Not much plot background to start, pretty slow, lead character flat. Couldn't get all the way through it. Went on to better things.
