One True Thing Movie Synopsis

Based on the novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Anna Quindlen, One True Thing examines the confusing, painful and ultimately healing circumstances that occur when an ambitious daughter (Renee Zellweger) is forced to move back home to help her parents (Streep and Hurt). While there, she discovers things about her parents she never knew, and the up and coming journalist is eventually accused of giving her mother a lethal dose of morphine.

A wonderful story that illustrates how parents are only human and makes us look back and question what we believe as reality.

I fell in love with the movie. I love the irony of the relationships and how her relationships with her parents were turned around once her eyes were opened and she allowed herself to see the truth.

very emmotional and shocking drama
