After attempting historical dramas and multi-character urban sagas, John Sayles returned to the intimate kind of filmmaking that he does best. Mary McDonnell stars as a bitter soap opera actress whose career comes to an abrupt halt when she's paralyzed in a car accident. Alfre Woodard co-stars as the quiet care worker who refuses to put up with her tantrums.
