This movie is one of many that have been made on the subject of suicide as seen from the survivors' point of view. I think that this one portrays it more realistically than a lot of the other ones. We see the family fighting about what they could have done and who's to blame. It is not another one of those movies where the family just suddenly becomes closer to each other, no matter what was going on before. I think that Meredith Baxter did an excellent job portraying the distraught mother. The rest of the cast was as well.
