Product Description

 
Director Jocelyn Moorhouse's film adaptation of the novel by Whitney Otto stars Winona Ryder as Finn Dodd, a Berkeley graduate student on summer hiatus at her grandmother's home to work on her thesis and ponder a marriage proposal from her boyfriend, Sam (Dermot Mulroney). Finn's grandma, Hy (Ellen Burstyn), lives with her great aunt, Glady Jo (Anne Bancroft), at their idyllic Northern California home. The two fiery women meet with seven older female relatives and close friends for a regular quilting bee, led by Anna (Maya Angelou). Over the course of the summer, Finn contemplates her future while gaining insight into love and relationships from the different members of the quilting bee. Their experiences are brought to life as each woman shares a unique tale with the confused young woman. The interwoven memories of each sage member of the quilting bee--including Constance (Kate Nelligan); Anna's daughter, Mariana (Alfre Woodard); and Finn's free-spirited mother, Sally (Kate Capshaw)--become lessons in l...

Affectionate Guideline For Quilting And Life Ruining

Date of Review:  Oct 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: A chance to learn from others' mistakes that you'll probably will make yourself anyway.
Review: The best way to encourage a 26-year-old bride-to-be to marry a guy is to tell her several stories about love. Not Finn Dodd?s case.

Finn [Winona Ryder] is a terribly frustrated person torn between her fiance Sam [Dermot Malroney] and a...

Great Film About Women's Relationships

Date of Review:  Aug 27, 2000
Review: My best friend kept telling me (for about six months) that I needed to see this movie and that she felt I would like it very much. I resisted, as I really wasn't sure what to expect and thought it would be heavy on the "quilting" detail. When I...

How To Make an Irritating Movie

Date of Review:  Jan 29, 2001
The Bottom Line: Full of cliches and excessive sentimentality, this movie wanders in search of meaning but just ends up dizzy.
Review: When my wife brought home a copy of How to Make an American Quilt last night, I told her that I had never seen the movie. About halfway through watching it, I realized that I had, but that I had been so turned off by the movie that I forgot about...
