Absolutely LOVE this movie


I may be dating myself but the first time I saw this movie was back in 1985. It's such a tender, difficult and endearing film. I felt as though I could feel everything Geraldine Page's character was feeling when she walked through her house and yard again, for the first time in many years.

Some movies are like songs. They hold so much warmth and nostalgia and take me back as though it were just yesterday, to exactly where I was and what I was doing.

I remember I watched this on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and, while I watched, I baked two loaves of homemade bread, which made the house fill up with the best aroma ever! A great memory.

I take a trip back to "Bountiful" every few years, and each time I find something new to love about it. This is one of the best films of the '80s, with one of the best performances. 10/10 from me, and I don't give them away easily.
