(2004)

About 12 years ago a woman fled her abusive husband in Georgia, abandoning her two daughters. She had another girl by a rock musician, they tour, have a good life, and then she leaves him and he dies in a car wreck. Their daughter blames the mom for his death. Mom decides to go back to Georgia and re-unite her family. This is an obviously hair-brained scheme, none of the children want it, the older ones barely remember her and don’t much care for her. Her abusive husband is dying of cancer. By the end things are relatively peaceful, but I’m not optimistic about the long run. Didn’t care for it except for a good performance by Kyra Sedgwick.
