Very highly recommended. When I first saw this in theater, I thought it would produce Academy Awards for some of the participants. It is extremely well acted and the story is poignant.

Besides the fact that Alan Parker, a tremendously good director, directed this film, what more could you ask for than Albert Finney and Diane Keaton. This movie was before Keaton reduced herself to inane, one-dimensional characters and her talent was still aplenty on display. A deeply involved family drama with lots of innuendo and things left unsaid, a trademark of Parker directions. Should have won awards....
