When We Last Spoke is a movie based off a book by Marci Henna. This film won awards in each of the five categories at the 2021 ICVM Crown Awards and some of these included best picture and best narrative. The movie takes place in the last 1960’s in a small town called Fireside. Juliet and Evangeline ended up being raised by their grandparents, Walt and Ruby. The girl’s father, James went to serve in the Vietnam War. Their mother decided at this time that she no longer wanted to raise her children. She made a decision to move back to New York to pursue her dream of becoming a singer. While living with their grandparents’ we see the girls face challenges and adventures. Along the complicated life, their great grandmother moves in with them and she is losing her memory. This movie also travels back and forth between the past and the current lives of the girls where viewers can witness the full scope of the storyline. The sister lost touch when one of the sister’s kept the painful truth of the past that their mother didn’t want them anymore. She left town and vowed to never return. An unexpected event causes them to reconnect.
I would recommend this awesome movie to anyone who enjoys a great family film. The film covered topics like forgiveness, healing from the past, learning to adjust to changing family structures, the importance of family, and much more. I liked how entertaining the film was and how there was a mixture of humor but also of sadness. I also loved the chemistry between the sisters and how they continued the story going from the past to the present to show the conflict and the healing they were able to experience. I immensely loved the cast in this movie and some of my favorite was Cloris Leachman (Raising Hope) and Melissa Gilbert (From Little House on the Prairie). I loved Cloris Leachman and the character she played she reminded of the same personality on Raising Hope. She added humor to the film along with in dealing with the difficult topic of dementia. This was also one of the last few films she appeared in since she passed away in January 2021. If you’re looking for a clean family film, then check this one out!
