Drama about a woman struggling to leave the confines of her home town despite a budding romance with a local auto mechanic.

Kathleen Quinlan is a tour de force in this film!

A young woman who dreams of leaving her small town to follow her dreams of becoming a photographer. Particailly held back by her love for local mechanic and a terminally ill relative;she fights to make her dreams a reality. Diane Weist gives a superb performance as the physically abused housewife.

Awesome Movie that Tackles Serious Heartaches

This movie was one of the most moving stories I had seen during the 1980s. The seriousness it addressed concerning spousal abuse, suicide, cancer, and true romance was unforgettable. It was the sleeper movie of the 80s. The performances in this movie by David Keith, Kathleen Quinlan, and Diane Weist are exceptional.

Stunning performance from Dianne Wiest

Before she won her two oscars and had other film successes, Dianne Wiest made this film in which she plays a sweet but troubled abused housewife. Her story takes up roughly one third of the film, and it's gripping and moving. She really deserved an oscar nomination for this early role, but very few people saw the film. (It got little critical notice, though Pauline Kael raved about Wiest in a review published months after the film finished its brief run.) The rest of the movie is nice, and has good actors like Kathleen Quinlan and Frances Sternhagen in it; and David Keith is good too, especially in his caring for sister Wiest. But the abused wife story is so strong that the film's "small town folk who long to go on to bigger things in life" theme pales in comparison. But really the Wiest story and her performance are remarkable, if it ever shows up on tv. Or someone puts it out on dvd.
