A Last Cry for Help (1979 TV Movie)
8/10
sad but poignant
9 May 2005
Warning: Spoilers
This is a very sad movie, well acted, starring Shirley Jones & Linda Purl. The girl in this film appears on the outside to have everything going for her: good looks, popularity, a boyfriend, good grades a nice home-life, but the reality is: she is very sad & depressed in the inside, and her family is dysfunctional. No one seems to understand Sharon's pain. If she has everything going for her, how can she selfishly be so unhappy? When she tries to kill herself her family is forced to attend therapy to understand the issues that are plaguing Sharon. This movie also has lots of great late 1970's music throughout. I would highly recommend this movie that deals so well with understanding depression.
