Barbra Streisand played and directed this film and brought out the best performance that Nick Nolte has ever accomplished in his career.  This is a story about deception, concealed lies that are buried so deeply it destroys and the psychiatrist (Barbra) that feels and sees all of the twists and turns in the film.  Barbra Streisand did a magnificent and creative and talented job of bringing everything to the light and even allowed her son, Jason, to play in this film.  I have watched this film many times and I am never disappointed and the love and romance involved is poignant and heartbreaking in the end.
