Sarah Plain and Tall's Winters end was the best movie I have ever seen. The person in the story that I liked best had to be Cassie played by Emily Osment. Just because of her energy and how she speaks her mind. For example when Anna calls from town Cassie wants to answer and she says,"Hello? Anna guess what. Grand father was lost but hes back now and he is not a good man!" I loved all of the Sarah Plain and tall movies for my rating I think Sarah Plain and tall was #3. Skylark was #2. Winters end was #1! If I could live in any family from the past It would have to be the Witting family. I think there are so many good parts in this movie I can't name all of them. I think they picked the best and perfect actors to play all these people in the movie so if you ever want to watch a movie from the past I would highly highly highly recommend Sarah Plain and Tall's Winters end.

I enjoyed two of the three movies in the "Sarah, Plain & Tall" trilogy. This, the final of the three, was definitely one of the "good ones. " It is an excellent family film with wonderful acting by the three adult stars: Christopher Walken, Glenn Close and Jack Palance. The storyline is simple but well-told. The only sub-par performance was by one of the kids. It was interesting to see how the kids had grown since that first movie. Of the three, that initial "Sarah," was the best- filmed with some beautiful cinematography. This movie didn't have that, but it had the best story. It had some genuinely-tearful sentimental moments and a very nice ending. Highly recommended.

This third installment of the Sarah, Plain and Tall series exceeds television standards of today while not being some boring, laugh track filled, 1950's television show. The values of a family and unconditional love in spite of difficulties in relationships is priceless. Glenn Close and Christopher Walken again do a great job of playing a couple committed to each other and to their children (amazing in these days of every family member for themselves)! As an added treat, Jack Palance turns in a fine performance. This is a man that Bette Davis insisted play in his first starring role as a bad guy. It's fitting that he plays a guy who was a bad father, but figures that he should make that right before his time on earth is done.Two former 'bad guy' actors, show that maybe Hollywood should stop type casting actors and allow them to explore other sides. Walken and Palance turn in heart-warming performances, even as they initially clash with each other due to their lack of relationship.If you want to see a great story that the whole family can enjoy, check this one out. If you want a typical scary Walken picture, this one's not for you.

Excellent story of lives that need repair....one of those rare films that I could watch with my 7 and 8 year old daughters... Glenn Close was excellent in the title role. It was also nice to see Christopher Walken in a more normal role.
