VHS Movie Reviews of Family Reunion
Movie Review: A Family Reunion To Remember
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a terrific Miniseries made in 1981. Starring Bette Davis in one of her best roles of her long career.
In Family Reunion, the incomparable Bette Davis shines in one of her last roles of her illustrious career. Portraying a woman of conscience, she speaks of all that is noble about small town America and the value of family loyalties.
Bette Davis stars as Elizabeth Winfield, a feisty, New England school teacher, retiring after fifty years of educating children in the community which bears her name.
For her years of service, she is given an unlimited bus pass and sets out on a cross-country odyssey to heal old family feuds, not realizing she is being lured out of Winfield in a cunning plot by greedy shopping mall developers. She comes home in an attempt to stop the construction, armed with the moral integrity she has taught throughout her lifetime.
Movie Review: Family Reunion a Must for those who love fall and winter
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only is Davis wonderful, but the house she lives in as well as her kitchen are breathtaking. I watch this movie around mid-november as the extrior shots are quite beautful as well. Davis's house in the tv movie is now a Holocaust Memorial to the jewish people who died under hitler in world war two. The scene where she is walking into town is now the entrance that preserve. I hope and pray that some day this movie will be out on DVD format. Future star Paul Rudd...makes his acting debut in this made for tv movie. This show is a JOY to watch. I give it five starsMovie Review: A family's reunion to dysfunction
Summary: 4 Stars
I remeber seeing this on TV when I was growning up, and I liked it. Davis is magnificient as the matriarch of a family with problems (which family doesn't!). She is at home in this New England setting, baking bread and stirring up trouble. She is desperately trying to keep her family together, despite their resistance. It is a good movie to watch as the weather gets colder, as I remeber the interior sets being cozy, and the exterior shots are gorgeous of the New England Fall. It is also a good film to watch before the holidays, to possibly examine your own family's issues, and how you would (or wouldn't) want to deal with them.
