Joan Micklin Silver (1935–2020)

A very interesting, thought-provoking film about a likeable, loving family with two real children and an imaginary child called Maggie. They employ a new nanny who has to go along with the fantasy, but starts to find it disturbing...

Believable acting, a clever script with an excellent pivotal scene towards the end. The children are particularly good. Questions raised about the difference between a serious fantasy and mental illness, and at what point a deluded person needs professional help. show more

Recommended.

Paljon on kirjoitettu Vietnamin sodasta, miesten näkökulmasta. Limbo on niiden naisten ja puolisoiden tarina, jotka odottivat kotona. Toivoivat parasta ja pelkäsivät pahinta. Limbossa on surua ja ikävää. Ja kritiikkiä Yhdysvaltain puolustusvoimia kohtaan. Ihmeellistä, että tämä saatiin julkaistua jo silloin kun sota oli vielä käynnissä. Suosittelen kaikille, joita Vietnamin sota teemana kiinnostaa.

Incredibly good cast makes this story of a Boston alternative newspaper very enjoyable. It reminds you of the promise of the young John Heard--sadly, never realized.

2025 movie #231. Irving plays a 33-yo Manhattan woman quite happy with her life. But her Jewish grandmother is not and finds her a boyfriend (Riegert). A tad predictable perhaps, but a nice story and Amy Irving is perfect in the role.
