Reviews:
"Thornton Wilder's classic play is brought to the screen very well in this mostly faithful adaptation. The story is touching, the production values excellent.
It's one of the most performed plays even to this day, relating the story of some ordinary townsfolk in a very ordinary place called Grover's Corners, in the early 20th century. The people depicted, of course, represent pretty much, everyone. Its sentimentality seems to have inspired similar stories; notice the parallels to "It's a Wonderful Life," for example. This story has a slightly darker outlook than Wonderful Life, however. The movie only takes one liberty on reworking Wilder's original drama, perhaps to soften the blow of an intensely tragic scene. The slight tampering does not detract from the powerfully emotional and pivotal speech by the central character, Emily, however, since her speech precedes the event that is altered. The story's simple yet profound moral is effectively communicated.
The director and cast clearly had affection for each and every character, and it shows in the level of humanity brought to these characters, so that you can care about them as real people, as well as their feelings, aspirations, and fates. A beautiful tale, brought to life by a wonderful cast and expert direction. This one is definitely a classic worth seeing."
