One True Thing
1998 - 128 min. - Color
Genre: Drama
Rated R
Country: USA

LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
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.

LaserDisc Movie Review:
Carl Franklin directed this family drama adapted from the 1995 novel by former New York Times columnist Anna Quindlen about a young woman who goes back home to take care of her dying mother. In 1987-88, independent Ellen Gulden (Renee Zellweger), a Harvard grad, is working on a New York Magazine investigative article when she hears from her father, George (William Hurt), a literary critic and university professor. He tells Ellen she's needed at home to care for her mother, Kate (Meryl Streep), who's due for surgery. Ellen needs to get away from the problems of her relationship with her boyfriend Jordan (Nicky Katt), but she plans to continue work on the magazine article from home. In truth, Ellen is uncomfortable with her mother's various ladies club lunches, and holiday preparations, and she finds communication with her mother awkward. Once Ellen arrives back home, she's dismayed to find herself caught in the web of her mother's Middle America activities. Ellen's attitude changes when it becomes apparent this probably will be the final Thanksgiving and Christmas with all family members present. But tensions erupt as long-buried family secrets emerge. Locations in New Jersey were used to create the film's Eastern coastal college town. Shown at the 1998 Montreal Film Festival. --- Bhob Stewart

This painfully honest drama about marriage, false perceptions, and personal conflicts between parents and their children is also a courageous stretch for director Carl Franklin, whose previous two films, Devil in a Blue Dress (1995) and the independent yet critically acclaimed One False Move (1991), were primarily crime dramas. Meryl Streep is an absolute shining light as Kate Gulden, the nurturing homemaker living her life with strength and humor. Renee Zellweger is intelligently cast as her daughter Ellen, an ambitious literary type who is still very much daddy's little girl. Zellweger does justice to Ellen's profound character arc as she confronts her mother's terminal illness and the truth about her father, played by William Hurt. Hurt seamlessly portrays the complexities of his character, a self-absorbed literary snob, a philandering husband, yet a man who deeply loves his family. One True Thing touchingly explores love's ambivalence while it remains faithful to the theme of author Anna Quindlen's semi-autobiographical novel, "Love what you have instead of always yearning for what's missing." --- Lisa Kropiewnicki
