It's not that she has been especially close to her mother of late, in fact they haven't talked in almost two decades, ever since she confessed being pregnant with Kelsey to Patricia and ran away from home with Michael due to her mum's horrible reaction - and it's only now that Diana finds out there's so much she still wanted to say to her (presently unresponsive) mother. And while Diana's suffering, Michael seems to be constantly absent, and it eventually becomes clear he's having an affair. And then Kelsey elopes with her boyfriend (Christian Emanuel), and when trying to understand why Diana has to realize just how much she has become exactly like her mother ...<p> <p>Apart from the ending that seems to throw a faith angle into the mix out of essentially nowhere, this is a very touching drama, touching not because of overblown feelings but because it feels very real, with all the characters coming across as relatable because of their fallability - and of course due to some very solid acting. And a subtle directorial effort that lets the story flow rather freely only hel make this a pretty good watch for sure. <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2023"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
