I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
4 stars (Very Good) Starts with a contrived, clichéd family reunion followed by solemn poetry tutorials. But Ruth (Winkler) is a riveting character and Schygulla are just brilliant. It's a a strong & interesting tale, a paen to women's friendship. Wonderful! ~Sandy
