gremma Written by someone who has been there, you can tell, but only if you've been there. Excellent performances by Meryl Streep (of course!), Renee Zellweger and William Hurt.Many people have said that it is about a dysfunctional family, I think every family is dysfunctional when they are facing this kind of torment. To NOT be dysfunctional would be dysfunctional! You are losing your family as you know it, can anything be worse? People need to see this movie so when they are faced with this nightmare maybe they will change how they do it. Maybe they will see that the father is denying himself valuable time he'll never get a chance at again. Maybe they will realize how hard it is to die, or to watch someone you love die. They didn't miss much of the nightmare, it's hard to forget.

beatlebette I have loved One True Thing since the first time I watched it in the theater, and cried my eyes out. I bought it as soon as it was available, and have lost track of how many times I've watched it.To me One True Thing is the ultimate family relationship movie. I love watching the relationships in the family change and evolve into what they end up being. I can relate to many details in the movie. My mother died of bone cancer, so it really hits home with me. Maybe this is why I love it so much.I like the relationships between the children and their parents, and the relationship of brother and sister, but especially love the relationship between husband and wife. To me it is truly beautiful.I highly recommend this move to anyone who enjoys this kind of movie.

JoshtheGiant One True Thing is much better than I expected, I expected the usual tearjerker crap with some good acting making it worth watching. But instead it ends up being a great film and yes the actings the high point but there is a lot that is almost just as good. The script is particular is filled with great dialogue and amazing characters that you really care about. The story itself is a little cheesy and doesn't always hold water but it is none the less good and is defiantly good enough. The direction is quite good but not the strongest point of the film but works just like the story does. The visual effects are very good for a drama like this. The film really has three leads, its hard to decide who is the one lead in fact probably impossible. Renee Zellweger, Meryl Streep, and William Hurt are all amazing, and just perfect. Not just Streep but all three should have been nominated for Oscars. This is one of those films that you now generally how it is going to end, you probably already now but even if you do now how its going to end you want to see how really bad.

dorisz It is a wonderful movie about the mother and daughter relationship. I think everyone has to see it, cause we can discover the little miracles of our life, and I think we mustn't do that mistake, that we realize that how we love each other, when if it is too late already. So I think it is all that I can say about this movie, but if you are interested in this go and watch it.The love is the greatest thing that can ever happen to us, so enjoy that possibility, that someone is next to you and you know that person loves you. After this feeling we won't need anything else to live a happy and wonderful life.
