Geraldine Page giving the performance of a lifetime in a difficult, painful movie about the passage of time and the many ways in which life and family can hurt and disappoint.

This borrows a lot from the asian concept of 'mono no aware', and does a wonderful job at it. Page's performance is a miracle of acting. The execution might not be the best besides the performances, but the screenplay and overall tone fully succeed at transmitting the themes and ideas.

If not for the performances this wouldn't be very noteworthy, but Page is brilliant. Credit also to John Heard.
