Allowing herself to court Zipper, she finally moves on from Joe. There is a beautiful way in which Lorene Scafaria has broken the fourth wall with the rendezvous between Marnie and the therapist. Susan Sarandon gets complete credit for managing to strike that profound balance. Funny and touching. Well, it is, sort of -- but it is more about recovering from the deep grief of losing someone very important to you. J.K.

Video availability outside of United States varies. It sits in the pantheon of cinema greats because of how it combined the finest traditions of storytelling and movie making, and over-arched it with powerful messages about important social issues. Her experience of a two-year grieving process, with all its surprises, attempts at forgetting and at going-on-with-life is deeply and effectively believable.
