Brooke Shields stars in this wrenching drama as Janine Nielssen, a nurse who faces the death of her partner, Sandy (Cherry Jones), and separation from their daughter when the child's biological grandparents wage a battle for custody. State law is stacked against Janine, but attorney Terry Harrison (Whoopi Goldberg) sets out to prove that family is not defined by blood alone in this GLAAD Media Award-winning biopic directed by Maggie Greenwald.

Grade: B-
This was a very touching and thought provoking drama about the struggles a non-traditional family has when some type of tragedy takes place. The acting in this was really good, and Cherry Jones' decline as she got more and more sick was very believable. This was a sad story that you are just hoping for a happy ending for the entire time. This was a good watch for a few different reasons. It was definitely a good tear jerker, so if you want to get out some of that "inner sadness" this is good. It was a good look into the lives of a lesbian family, and the struggles that take place, and it was also a good love story. This movie really showed the meaning behind the vows "through sickness and health" that you take when getting married, and how a relationship can still stay loving and strong, and how difficult loss can be. Check it out, it was worth the watch!
Ya, this lesbian film is really good. Their love is nice. Thanks for share.
