One True Thing

ONE TRUE THING (1998)
starring Meryl Streep, William Hurt,
Tom Everett Scott, & Renee Zellweger

Meryl Streep never ceases to amaze me! She really did look like she was dying. Her dedication and craft was deserving of that Best Actress nomination. William Hurt is looking a lot like one of my high school teacher on that poster; I hated his character, for what he did to his wife. Everett Scott is surprisingly good; the only other film I remember him of is Dead Man on Campus (I don't know how on earth I remember that.) Too bad he's the only one in the "family" that haven't won an Oscar. Oh, Rory's mom from Gilmore Girls makes a cameo as Zellweger's best friend. Ultimately, this film is heartbreaking and sentimental and a must for any Streep fans (like myself.)

Acting: 8/10
Story: 7/10
Setting: 7.5/10
