I don't know exactly how many years of movies Davis, Gish, Carrey, Sother and Price had together. Probably 300 ! But all of them are absolutely wonderful in this beautiful quiet film about two aging sisters. Being a fan of Lillian Gish, I was amazed to see her full of gentle emotions, like in the films she made in the silent era. When she let down her hairs to brush, while listening to an old record Roses of Picardy, I saw the eternal Gish. Bette David is also great. It seems that the two women are playing the kind of parts we learned to love them. See this, it's a beauty.
