Alice Munro story, Gordon Pinsent, Julie Christie, Olympia Dukakis, and fine direction by Sarah Polley, creates the kind of movie you would hope to get from such talent. Some of it is, or will be, about you and your family. http://www.caprifilms.com/awayfromher/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0491747/
