{movie} a home of our own (1993)

When a mother of six (Kathy Bates) finds herself widowed, poor and wanting to trade the dangers of 1960s Los Angeles for a more simple life in the country, she packs up the kids and all their belongings, and heads to rural Idaho. Here, she finds a place for her brood to live in exchange for work in this touching, bittersweet family drama about the importance of cooperation and overcoming hardship.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** Kathy Bates is great as always and, aside from some slow moments, this was a decent movie. The ending was so sad and it almost made me cry, but I didn't cry which means I wasn't that invested in the movie or the characters. But it almost got me so that counts for something.
