This is a very good movie, just short of great - Sally Fields plays a formerly successful woman who has fallen on hard times after a harsh divorce. Judy Davis' character is a wealthy married woman, who thinks she has it all - but finds out she doesn't. Both Fields and Davis are excellent and the story is believable - the difficulty of middle-aged women in forging a new life and a new identity after divorce. It's also about not judging other people too harshly before you really get to know them. The movie is set on scenic eastern Long Island, probably the Hamptons, although it probably was filmed elsewhere. I watch this movie whenever it is repeated and always enjoy it. I highly recommend the movie.
