Academy Award®-winner Emma Thompson (Howards End, Primary Colors) co-stars with her real-life mother (Phyllida Law, Emma) creating a brilliant and absorbing performance ensemble that is "astonishing" (Premiere), "radiant" (Harper's Bazaar), "thrilling" (The New Yorker) and "daring and graceful" (Rolling Stone). Seldom has a film extracted such a powerful emotional response from an audience.
One cold winter day, an elderly woman arrives uninvited and unexpectedly at the home of her daughter, Frances, who is still grieving over her young husband's recent death. Together, they embark on an emotional journey neither of them are ready for, but both know must be taken.
First-time director Alan Rickman (critically acclaimed actor of Die Hard and Sense and Sensibility) utilizes the stark Scottish coast to accentuate and ultimately bring warmth to this bold, touching drama the Chicago Tribune rightfully calls, "The first great film of 1998."
