There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The first hour of this TV movie is very interesting, especially the long discussion among people in search of their biological parents and the different points of view between each of them. You have the feeling to watch a documentary. This is the pure TV movie scheme, a search for biological parents. But the true amazing, terrific sequence is the final one, when SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS the female lead finally meets her mother. Oh god, it's an unforgettable scene, when the two females meet. So poignant, I almost cried, wept. I love this TV film. I guess many features exist about this topic. I am very proud to have watched it.

When looking up this movie to answer an inquiry, I was surprised to see it had no user reviews. This was certainly a better than average TV movie, was well publicized when released, had two well known actors in the leads, and was directed by Larry Pierce, the director of Goodbye Columbus, the movie that introduced Ali MacGraw and had her best performance (a lot of us thought she could act based on it until Love Story proved us wrong. Meredith Baxter is a young woman with adopted parents who is searching for her actual parents. Beau Bridges is a young man she becomes involved with on an identical quest. Whitney Baxter, the mom on the TV sitcom Hazel and Meredith's actual mother, makes a brief but important appearance at the movie's climax.I haven't seen it since, but was pretty impressed at the time, no world beater, but nicely acted, written, and directed. What more do you want from a TV movie?
