Great movie - The Trip to Bountiful

We saw The Trip to Bountiful, probably one of my favorite movies tonight with friends. This movie brings back so many memories of my childhood and my grandmother. The music and acting pull at my heart strings throughout the story. Geraldine Page is so fantastic that I just want to reach through the screen and hug her to let her know everything will work out for the best. And it does and she's happy. It's such a good, sweet, triumphant story. One of my wonderful sisters bought it for me after I had searched and searched for it on DVD - Amazon didn't have it for the longest time, then I kind of forgot about it. One day a couple of weeks ago, it just showed up at my house; my sister had surprised me with it. Made my day.

Hearing the hymns sung by an elderly country lady brought huge, longing tears to my eyes. It was wonderfully cathartic.
