This is a very subtle but heartwarming look at people, in this case, women. Can you really know someone by just looking at them? This film explores this subject with gentleness and a universal look at humanity in all of its subtleties. Five interweaving stories of women just trying to get through life and their challenges. Glen Close stars as a physician whose role of sole caregiver of her elderly mother begins to take its tole. Cameron Diaz and Amy Brenneman star as sisters, one blind the other a police detective looking for love and their own place in the world. Calista Flockhart as a medium whose spouse is dying of cancer. Holly Hunter as a bank manager who's life is suddenly turned head over heals in the wake of an important decision that must be made. And, finally, Kathy Baker, a single mother who finds a chance at new love in the strangest of circumstances.
This film interweaves these stories cleverly and subtlety. I stumbled upon this little know gem on Amazon Prime. I highly recommend this simple yet touching story of humanity.
