Featured review
I for one had questions.
I just now saw this movie yesterday morning on HBO.I found it very entertaining with fine acting by Jane Fonda,Anne Bancroft and Meg Tilly.All parts in the film,even the supporting roles were pulled off with out a hitch.But much like the old Peggy Lee hit,I have to ask myself,"Is that all there is"? Though religious myself I am not a catholic.Therefore Imight be no one to judge.I can see why it ended like it did.Though I was hoping for a different ending.I'm in no way suggesting you shoulden't see this movie.Like I said It is very entertaining and very well acted.Just do me a favor and tell me what you think of the ending.
