The Stone Angel is the feature film adaptation of Canadian author Margaret Laurence's classic novel, and will be in Limited Release on May 9th, 2008 and enjoy a wider release on May 23th, only in Canada.
The witty, irascible and fiercely proud Hagar Shipley escapes confinement when her son Marvin and daughter in law Doris try to force her into a retirement home. Hagar sets out on a preposterous journey in search of a way to reconcile herself to her tumultuous past.
What a powerful movie! The film is every bit as heartbreaking as the book, and leaves the viewer marveling at all senior citizens. Ellen Burstyn's performance is impeccable - Margaret Laurence would be proud of her. The movie also includes performances by several other well known Canadian performers including, Ellen Page of Juno.
