Les soeurs McBride

This was a very touching (and realistic) story of the aftermath of a 25 year old tragedy and what happened to the siblings involved. Thoroughly enjoyable and "believable". Sad, joyful, well worth your time.

I didn't not like the movie...however, this book was so well rounded. I found the characters stilted in the movie. I know that comes down to timing - there just isn't time to delve into each character like you can in a novel. It was also "hallmarkified" which took away from the characters as well. If I hadn't read the book first I would have enjoyed this much more.

The network Hallmark Movies and Mysteries is where I go, especially during the Christmas season, for the sentimental, the sappy, the tearjerker. I was very disappointed during Christmas of 2021. HMM started out well enough with 2 good movies in that tradition. Not the first week, but early in the season. For me, Christmas 2021 was a bad year. Since probably early November, there hasn't been a truly heartwarming movie on HMM, or for that matter UpTV or GACF. Until now, two weeks after all the Christmas premieres were done and I wasn't expecting it. Don't get me wrong. There is nothing about Christmas in North to Home.

This movie is about family and loss. It's about sisters. There is one romance, but it is definitely not the focal point. Until somewhere past the half way point, it was a very nice movie about a family struggling with loss and guilt and little secrets. There are a few different threads going, but nothing major. Then there is a very nice twist. Maybe there were clues, but I don't remember them. It caught me totally by surprise and that doesn't happen all that often.

The rest of the movie after the twist gets very sentimental and sappy. The good kind. I won't say more about the story.

The acting is good. All of the three sisters were good.

This was a beautiful drama. Unique story with depth and heart. Love the importance placed on the family working through difficulty and reconnecting. I won't elaborate in order to avoid spoilers.

Not knowing the book, I appreciated this film for nice try - and succes in good measure- to be more than the usual Hallmark.

It is a beautiful film about family, parenthood, future plans and reconciliation with yourself.

Well acted, it reminds, in fair manner, simple, basic truths, offering the vulnerability of characters as honest premise for define the esential importance of support of beloved one .

Three sisters present at their mother 60 years old birthday.

Each of them is front to a choice, from the clash between passion and moral duty, to the birth of child and the desire to comeback at work after a lot time consacred to children. An accident, changing in radical manner their lives is the shadow around anniversary.

But, sure, the end can not be a surprise.

So, little more than nice.
