Based off a famous Broadway play, the film tells the story of an elderly woman who tries to leave for her now desolate hometown, the aforementioned Bountiful to escape from his son's awful wife.Quite a charmer of the film. particularly Geraldine page who Hard carried the film with her turn as the acerbic yet lovable Carrie. She really handled the change of heart of her character from vivacious savant in the beginning to an enlightened dignified personality. Such a multi faceted performance and much deserved wins as Best Actress that year.
I also really like the how it handled the ever burgeoning feeling of time, just like what David Bowie sang, it changes you. Her sudden outburst due to her regrets on how she handled a failed romance. The pure heartedness of retiring in Bountiful and her acknowledgment when her original plans fell apart. Her realization that trip is probably her last- accepting her time had passed, at last. I miss those qualities in new films. A nihilistic but realistic views for the grim end.
on the other end of the stick, John Heard( of Home Alone fame) and Caitlyn Glynn were intensely insufferable in their respective role role. NOTHING MUCH TO WROTE ABOUT
Overall, Bountiful=Geraldine Page magic. 4/5
