Movie #3457 "Blind Spot" (Hallmark) I saw this was available on Hallmark, and I am a huge Joanne Woodward/Laura Linney fan, so I DVR'd it and just got to watching it. I had seen a movie a little like it with Glenn Close and Mia Kunis --- both films are about a Mother trying to deal with her daughter on drugs --- the big differences with this one is that the mom is a public figure (a senator?) and her daughter is pregnant and newly widowed. and the mother has just found out her daughter has been using since high school. Talk about being gobsmocked! But the films (and most films on this subject) are the same in the trials and tribulations of tough love in getting your child free from the drugs --- most difficult because the child has to want to be off the drugs, and thinks he can succeed in doing that. It's a hard film to watch --- It's a difficult problem in our society and this film faces it head on and with beautiful acting to convey it to us. I'd give this a 4 out of 5.
