Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
There isn't one schmaltzy moment in the entire film, and any tears the viewer sobs into their hankies are well-earned.

...ONE TRUE THING demonstrates that the power of simple things, the transcendent nature of the ordinary, can make for riveting filmmaking...

the movie ultimately belongs to Streep, who illuminates the extraordinary soul inside an everyday woman.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Carl Franklin's understated direction keeps the tears and life-affirming revelations from congealing into chicken shmaltz for the soul.

TV Guide
The script shifts audience sympathies about quite adroitly, though it's a pity all the men had to be such humbugs.

Even director Carl Franklin...can't prevent One True Thing from descending into chick-movie hell.

Product Description:
ONE TRUE THING tells the sobering story of a family whose strength is tested when tragedy strikes. Ellen Gulden (Renee Zellweger), a writer living in New York City, has dedicated her life to becoming a successful journalist. When she learns that her mother, Kate (Meryl Streep--nominated for an Oscar for her performance) is dying of cancer, her life is forever altered. Ellen's father, George Gulden (William Hurt), a National Book Award winner and university professor, pressures her into moving home and sacrificing her own life for her mother's sake. The pressure of running the household combined with the pain of seeing her mother grow terminally ill threatens to overwhelm Ellen, and she is further upset when she discovers that her father may not be the ideal she thought he was. Based on the book by journalist Anna Quindlen, ONE TRUE THING tackles its serious subject matter without becoming heavy-handed, a tribute to Carl Franklin's (ONE FALSE MOVE) accomplished, compassionate direction.
