I don't understand why so many people ranked this most excellent movie so low. I saw the reviews in mid-December 2006 (before the naysayers) and it was almost an "8". True, it's no "Brokeback Mountain" as some of the other commentators here apparently wish it was. True, one of the film's messages relates to anti-abortion to a point, but what's wrong with an opinion that opposes political correctness run amok? Believe it or not, it's actually okay to make a movie with a positive, uplifting, inspiring message and not be browbeat or preachy about it. This movie accomplishes all these and so much more. The characters are warm and richly drawn. The main character (Amanda) is so beautifully and ably portrayed by Lisa Brenner. The gradual unfurling of Amanda's motives and beliefs is well paced and very believable. Geneviève Bujold plays the character "Katie" with just the right depth and also simultaneously plays it as being "in the know" and outside it at the same time. Louise Fletcher is as brilliant in the role of the grandmother as she has been in so many others. Misha Collins plays his character with just the right amount of reserve and near-menace to keep you guessing about the plot until the end. All in all, a great movie with great messages esp. about false memory syndrome. Lawrence D. Foldes and Victoria Paige Meyerink did an excellent job with this movie. I look forward to their next project.
