Pictures of Hollis Woods

An orphan with a tough past and a Senior citizen losing her faculties, but not her ability to love. The movie uses flashbacks to Hollis' past with focus on the family she spent the summer with. Hollis feels bad about something but we don't find out about that until late..

Meanwhile back at the ranch. At first Hollis tries to take advantage of Josie's lack of concentration but when confronted., by the social worker she shapes up. Hollis is soon doing more to care for Josie than vice versa. This doesn't bode well.

Sissey Spacek is good. Jodelle Ferland as Hollis is great. She's not the perfect kid that you sometimes get in movies like this, but her heart is gold. Like so many kids with a hard life, when someone loves them they will do anything back. The story is well paced with a nice climax and ending.

This movie was made when Hallmark movies were worth waiting for and this is definitely one of them.
