La grande Gilly Hopkins

If you are in the mood for something other than action or suspense; if you're tired of feeling like you're being condescended to or studying an ideology; if you're in the mood to let a movie take you somewhere good, smile a little, then this is a good movie to give you a rest from Hollywood.

Cheesy movie, sure. But quite nicely done. Kudos to the cast, to Kathy Bates and especially to the director.
