When We Last Spoke

Melissa Gilbert and Corbin Bernsen give amazing, flawless performances that together stand When We Last Spoke on its admirably sturdy spine. This movie will surely make you laugh and cry. James Welch Henderson Arkansas 6/4/2021.

I enjoyed the film. The well-known actors gave solid performances and I thought the rest of the cast performed well. To be honest, I read the book several years ago and liked it, but didn't love it; something seemed to be missing for me. The actors put flesh on the characters and brought them to life in a most satisfactory way. I was able to fill more emotionally attached. There were poignant moments but the movie stayed mostly lighthearted. There were also a few examples of turning the bad into something beautiful that appealed to me.

The soundtrack is great! I was 12 in 1967, so many memories were stirred via the music, fashion, and more included in the film. It takes place during a turbulent time in American history and has sad elements, but it was also a kinder, more simple time. The laughter, in the film and from the viewers, remind us that it's possible to keep finding joy despite heartache and misunderstandings. But the final message all should receive is the importance of family and forgiveness and the need for faith to sustain us. This is definitely a "popcorn movie" to enjoy with friends, but I believe it's worth seeing. Check it out!

This family-oriented film tells the story of two young sisters who are abandoned and raised by their grandparents. It is a heartwarming, and sometimes humorous, story that kept my interest and had a good message of forgiveness. Be sure to watch the lower left corner to see when the time period changes, as it jumps back and forth between 1967 and 1996.

An important film about love, forgiveness, family values and the strength provided by strong role models! See Melissa Gilbert transform from a child on the prairie to a MAMAW raising grandchildren during the Vietnam "war". Cloris Leachman & Corbin Bernsen were both a joy also. Watch this film with children of ALL AGES because it's a teaching moment. If you have no kids, borrow some because you might just learn some lessons yourself! 💘

First, the cars have to be right for a period movie and they were for the late 60's. I hate it when I see a 70's car in a 60's period movie. This is a TV movie that contains some exceptional acting. I agree with "jonathangrubbs" that Cloris Leachman, Darby Camp and Chandler Head were very good. There was one scene, however, where Corbin Bernsen was downright GREAT.
