Finding Home (2003)
10/10
Complex personal and family dynamics cloud the return of a granddaughter for her grandmother's funeral.
15 July 2005
Superb acting and a wonderful story combine to make a most arresting movie. The plot concerns the complex and inaccurate memories of events that took place at the childhood home of a young career woman, events which caused her to become isolated from her maternal grandmother. These memories resurface when the young woman returns to her childhood home, a country inn on the Maine coast, to attend the funeral of her grannie. The cinematography of the Maine coast was absolutely breathtaking, the development of the story and it's characters was intriguing and believable, and the acting was first-rate. Add to this a hauntingly beautiful musical score, and you have the makings of an all-time favorite. This was the best movie I have seen in a long, long time, and I hope that others take the opportunity to see it in the theater on wide-screen. It made a significant impression on me that will not be easily erased.
