Watch We Were the Mulvaneys For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

How sad is this?

A Disappointing Continuation

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

'We were the Mulvanney's is one of the most powerful films about the family I have ever seen. It is brilliant especially seen through the eyes of the the teenage youngest of four, his helplessness and yet his belief in his siblings, most of all his love for them. It is a measure for all families who downward spiral, one that is left unchecked by so called parents. The central characters have intelligence, and above all love. Familys are important and this film seeks to warn the viewer of great emotional losses that can be avoided. However, it takes more than one family member to be positive to redress the problems some parents find unsolvable. Joyce Kelly.

A good drama, but may be a bit dispiriting. Beau Bridges does an excellent job as the prideful father; however, Blythe Danner's character seems to be in the gray area. Somehow I do not understand her position as mother of the Mulvaneys; is it in the script or is it just her acting? The cast in general did okay, nothing too special though.****possible spoiler****The story itself is a bit depressing. Of course, we don't expect any happy endings here, but somehow the ending did not justify what had happened. If you like movies with hanging endings and a big sore which doesn't seem to heal up to the end, then this tv-movie is for you. 7/10

I'm actually not a big fan of the movie itself, but I think it's worth watching if you want to see a marvelous performance by a great young actress. Tammy Blanchard is amazing as Marianne Mulvaney. Blythe and Beau are good as always but young Tammy is the star of this one. Not a great adaptation of the book though, 7.5/10

Blythe danner as Corinne is inspired, yet for some reason the feeling of the movie was so terribly insipid compared to the book. The rest of the actors seemed very stiff and not to understand themselves within the context of the story; particularly Marianne's character. And the costumes sucked. Whenever I read this novel I think it would be perfect for a movie, but unfortunately this version fell threw. I hope they option it for the big screen using some more talented actors or at least a more talented director.
