Beautiful, touching, yet sometimes harsh, this multilayered drama centers on poet Inga (Tony and Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden); her eight-year-old daughter, Indigo (Harden's real-life daughter, Eulala Scheel); and her insensitive husband, Hermann (Michael Gaston). Inga is recovering from breast cancer, and Hermann avoids dealing with it by becoming preoccupied with his failing business. Inga retreats into alcohotism as a reaction to Hermann's indifference and his unwillingness to consider purchasing a house that reminds Inga of her childhood home. Throughout the film, voice-overs of Inga reciting her poems-written by the director's mother, Mary Stuart Haverstick-effectively convey her emotional journey. The photography of the Lancaster, PA, countryside and the soundtrack, which includes the recited poems, are excellent. This film will appeal to general viewers, particularly those interested in family drama. Highly recommended. Extras include deleted scenes and the theatrical trailer.
