A Rumor of Angels (2002)

Family Drama - inspired by a book by Grace Duffie Boylan - exploring the possibility of contact with deceased loved ones. James, a young boy who lost his mother in an automobile accident befriends an older lady who lost her son in the war. The bonding is healing for both of them, but their intimate relationship upsets the young boy's father and step-mom. Lots of growth for each of the characters. The film is sometimes overly melodramatic, and sometimes too predictable. Still, it entertains and inspires. Vanessa Redgrave is fun to watch. 1 hr. 46 min
