A Wonderful Documentary
I sure wish it was available on DVD (or even VHS, I'd run out and buy a machine to play it on)..
This traditionally sad topic is brightened considerably by Hoffmann.. all the frustrations are there when dealing with a parent in decline, but solutions --all of them dependant upon Hoffmann and her attitude-- are what sets this film apart for others in this genre.
