Entertainment Reviews:
...Ms. Streep's performance is as uncomprimised as any she's given....[It's] real enough to be a film you can believe in...
New York Times
...Extraordinary performances and restrained direction....ONE TRUE THING is a rare thing: an unsentimental heart-wrencher...
Premiere
Rating: 3/4 --
Although the plot rarely excels, the actors bring enough to their roles to transform this motion picture into a satisfying weeper.

ReelViews
Even director Carl Franklin...can't prevent One True Thing from descending into chick-movie hell.
Rolling Stone
...ONE TRUE THING demonstrates that the power of simple things, the transcendent nature of the ordinary, can make for riveting filmmaking...
Los Angeles Times
the movie ultimately belongs to Streep, who illuminates the extraordinary soul inside an everyday woman.

Product Description:
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.
