DVD Synopsis

A mother once neglected as child but possessed of a heart overflowing with love grows increasingly despondent as her beloved child begins to claim his independence in director Kevin Bacon's adaptation of Victoria Redel's best-selling novel. If loving too much were a crime, well-meaning but overbearing mother Emily (Kyra Sedgwick) would be spending life behind bars with no hope of parole. When Emily was a child, her parents were deeply in love with one another but tragically indifferent to their affection-starved daughter. Now a grown adult with a deep-rooted desire to bear a child, Emily goes to desperate lengths to conceive before eventually giving birth to an exceptionally gifted boy whom she names Paul. Emily's devotion to Paul burns brighter than a thousand suns as she creates a wondrous world of books, music, art, and games to share with her growing child, but her ever more desperate attempts to preserve the purity of their relationship reach a frantic fever pitch as a kindhearted local man opens his life to the pair and Paul prepares for his first year of school. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

I did not watch much of this movie. I thought it was terrible. Requested as I like Kyra Sedgwich so much. Don't know why she did a movie of the caliber.

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are husband and wife. Now before you start thinking that he does movies to give her work. You have to know Kyra can hold her own. This movie is based on a book by Victoria Redel's which I have not read. After seeing the movie I need to read the book to see if I can better understand this mother. It is rated R due to many sex scenes in the beginning. If nudity bothers you this might. Kyra is in great shape for her age or for any age. Kevin Bacon did an excellent acting job.
