	CNN - 'One True Thing' - September 25, 1998
		Instead she would buy me things, a cheap but pretty print she would mat herself, a throw of some kind.
		And as she arranged the throw or hung the picture she would say, smiling, "We're so different, aren't we, Ellie?" But she would never realize, as she said it, as she'd said it so many times before, that if you are different from a person everyone agrees is wonderful, it means you are somehow wrong.
		Things like this were my mother's whole life.

	One True Thing, Light and Dark #7
		Her Doctor had advised her it was probably the only thing she could do to complete the healing process: confront the memories of her former captor by going to those places she'd been to and realising that there was no longer danger waiting for her at every turn.
		It was weird that it could be both things as he left Hammond's office – and he still thought of it as Hammond's – for the last time and headed for the elevators.
		One thing was ending and it was sad that it was but when Sam returned his grin with a shy smile of her own, Jack knew that something else was beginning.

	ONE TRUE THING
		Needing someone to care for his wife, maintain his lifestyle, and not wanting an outside nurse to be that person, George asks Ellen to put her career on hold and move back home to care for her mother.
		Featuring a superb cast, excellent performances, a well-written script and great direction, "One True Thing" should please moviegoers who enjoy films such as "Terms of Endearment." Clearly one of the frontrunners -- in several categories -- for next spring's Oscar broadcast, this is one of those movies loved by tissue manufacturers.
		As Ellen discovers the true nature and character of her father just as we do, we see Hurt's character unfold like a damaged flower.

	James Frey’s One True Thing
		Figuring that a big lie is as easy to tell as a little one, Frey added to this fiction that he resisted arrest and fought with police while attempting to incite a riot among bystanders, and to have as a result served three months in a county jail.
		None of this was remotely true (although Frey was drunk and had a minor mishap with his car, he was extremely polite to a police officer and spent a few hours in custody).
		The worst thing about AA – and the experience Frey underwent at Hazelden – is its denial of the existence of valid alternative paths to ending addiction.

	'One True Thing' (R)
		The story, told in flashback, begins with the interrogation of daughter Ellen Gulden (Renee Zellweger) by a district attorney (James Eckhouse) who is investigating suspicious circumstances surrounding her mother's death.
		Besides, "One True Thing" is less about Kate Gulden's death than it is about Ellen's coming to terms with her parents' hidden flaws and strengths and, in a way, her own voyage of self-discovery that the tragedy precipitates.
		Like that everyday, commonplace occurrence, "One True Thing" celebrates the very things you don't miss, or even know exist, until they are gone.

		Besides, she adds, if there's one thing you learn early on in the antiques business, it's to not throw anything away, especially if you don't know what it is. Anyway, the toys would fly off the shelves and her antiques would languish.
		Next thing she knew, she was in Japan, trying to learn about these toys firsthand - and buying everything in sight.
		It helps to be skinny, and even then, many things can't be reached, there are so many other things piled and stacked and hung between the aisle and the shelves.

	Salon Entertainment \| One Blue Thing
		Things begin promisingly enough: When young New York magazine reporter Ellen Gulden (Renée Zellweger) returns home to Langhorne, a leafy, gracious town somewhere in the Northeastern megalopolis, for her dad's 55th birthday party in 1987, she seems to be walking into a haute-WASP suburban burlesque.
		Evidently the point of this whole exercise (adapted by screenwriter Karen Croner from the novel by former New York Times columnist Anna Quindlen) is that the ambitious '80s career woman needs to integrate the lessons learned and sacrifices made by her stay-at-home mom in order to become a well-adjusted grown-up.
		With Zellweger standing by like a weeping onlooker at a road accident, "One True Thing" deteriorates into a lurid, almost hallucinatory horror show, snatching incoherent fragments from "Cries and Whispers," "Meet Me in St. Louis" and "It's a Wonderful Life" as it careens to a close.

		When I plucked Anna Quindlen's One True Thing off the audio book rack at the library, I had no idea the novel had been made into a movie that was coming soon to movie theaters everywhere and would receive rave reviews from everyone.
		Write down your thoughts so you'll remember there really is no one true thing.

	One True Thing movie review, In Film Australia
		Even in Meryl Streep’s dying character - a woman who is suffering from terminal cancer - the ‘one true thing’ in her life is the simple fact that she is related by blood and love to the rest of her family.
		One True Thing’s ensemble cast lifts the film to heights that would have been otherwise impossible to reach.
		Some of the power he exemplifies comes from the things that he doesn’t explain or elaborate on, which perhaps motivated him to refuse to round off One True Thing in the happy and resolved way that made Stepmom - this year’s other film about a woman dying of cancer - pretentious and irritating.

	SPLICEDwire: "One True Thing" review
		With Meryl Streep and William Hurt in the cast, it's easy to conclude that "One True Thing" is bound to be an emotionally charged drama and that it's probably a good idea to bring Kleenex.
		Focusing on her often tenuous relationship with her mother, the story -- adapted from the novel by Anna Quindlen -- is of the family's emotional endurance as Ellen struggles with having been thrown back in with her over-bearing parents while they all subconsciously prepare for the mother's inevitable death.
		Directed by Carl Franklin ("Devil in a Blue Dress") with an eye for the light moments as well as the grief, "One True Thing" has the most honest, layered and authentic family dynamic of any American movie in recent memory.

	One True Thing Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		But after watching "One True Thing", I can now better appreciate the things that were going through her mind that day, and the strength that she showed in the face of such austere circumstances.
		"One True Thing" successfully captures the dramatic core of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Anna Quindlan's 1995 novel-- the difficulties for parents and children to understand one another.
		On the surface, "One True Thing" seems to have the trappings of a made-for-TV movie, or seems to be nothing more than a small-scale family drama.

	Images - One True Thing
		One True Thing, based on the novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Anna Quindlen, is the story of a determined, young, Harvard-educated journalist who is described by her coworkers as "cold," "condescending," and "remote." She is forced to return home and care for her cancer-stricken mother.
		One True Thing is largely about getting to know who your family is, about that moment in your life when your father and mother start to become real people, with weaknesses, desires, and dreams of their own--just like everyone else.
		One True Thing is about the extreme circumstances that can force us to look at our parents in a different light and finally see them as real blood-and-flesh people.

	One True Thing
		Dealing with disease often consigns movies to "Disease of the Week Hell." One True Thing may revolve around a family member battling cancer, but it is not about the disease but about family.
		The dynamics of the family are what drive One True Thing and the disease is merely the device to trigger the mechanism to look under one family’s perfect veneer.
		What makes One True Thing most interesting is the way it shifts focus between the varied relationships in the family.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: One True Thing
		One True Thing, a story of a family in which communication is a foreign word is aimed so pointedly at the Heartland that it's filled with New York jokes; nothing nasty, all the kind of things that us New Yorkers would laugh at.
		One one level, One True Thing is a welcome distraction to real life unpleasantries like the Ken Starr Report.

		Gradually, she realizes that her father is hardly the great and good man she believed him to be, nor is Kate merely a chipper, cookie-baking nitwit.
		Streep, in an honest, unaffected performance, and Zellweger, outstanding in her central role, are so compelling in their conflict and so luminous in their subsequent reconciliation that even the blandest of domestic scenes gain dramatic heft.
		"One True Thing," with its insights into relationships and its emphasis on old-fashioned values, is the kind of film that is increasingly relegated to TV.

	Show #188 of Reeling: The Movie Review Show with Robin and Laura Clifford
		"One True Thing" is a multi-layered tale of a family, principally a daughter, facing the traumatic event of a matriarch's impending death.
		Tom Everett Scott ("That Thing You Do") plays Gulden son Brian and is here merely to turn on the record player occasionally and show he is the son of the dreamer, Kate, compared to the driven Ellen, who is more like her ambitious dad.
		Chan is a true world-class movie star who is every bit dedicated to giving his audience the best action/comedy entertainment he is capable of, and he is capable of a great deal.

	Filmtracks: One True Thing (Cliff Eidelman)
		One True Thing: (Cliff Eidelman) The score for One True Thing represented many turns for Cliff Eidelman, who had burst onto the scoring scene in the 1990's as one of the potentially great composers of the next few decades.
		The film One True Thing passed with a moderate reception by audiences, though its brutally honest depiction of family life turned away much of the residual viewership, and both the film and score have faded into obscurity.
		For One True Thing, Eidelman centers the musical output around solo piano performances and the sparse, but effective, accompaniment of a very small orchestra.

		In this brilliantly acted film, Zellweger (the daughter), discovers that her notions about her parents (Streep and Hurt) and about marriage in general were illusions, and, in turn, comes to a greater understanding of both her parents and the realities of marriage.
		Based on the novel by the same name by Anna Quindlen, One True Thing is about family relationships, especially that of the daughter (Renee Zellweger) with her parents.
		She's left home to establish herself as a promising young writer, but duty pulls her home (actually, unwilling/unable to do it himself, her father commands her to put her life on hold, come home, and care for her mother) to care for her mother (Streep) who is dying of cancer.

		Longo and Greene give ONE TRUE THING the rhythm section that was sorely missing and initiate crowds into a pogo-like dance during the pop-punk gems "Do You Remember" & "Wish I Was Everything".
		It was like, 'Redman canceled so ONE TRUE THING can come in for two days this week and maybe a day next week.' It was rough and we never really got to work together.

		One True Thing is a film starring Meryl Streep as the cancer-stricken homemaker mother, Renee Zellweger as the daughter who quits her top-dog job to care for her, and William Hurt as the chilly professor who lets the women in the family do the heavy emotional lifting dying requires.
		When I started reading One True Thing, it took me a while to realize I had already seen the movie with Meryl Streep, but as is the case most of the time, the book is undoubtedly better.
		The book explores complicated family dynamics that are revealed to the reader as Kathy Gulden, the mother who uses her acute intelligence, warmth, creativity and nurturing and loving spirit to devote herself to her children and to her husband, is diagnosed with terminal cancer.

		One True Thing (Dell Publishing, 1995) tells the story of a successful young lady, a family crisis, and the subsequent fallout.
		She had seen her father spoon feeding her mother's last meal of rice pudding but did not say anything about it to anyone, not even at the grand jury investigation into her mother's death where Ellen was the prime suspect.
		There are no heroes in her work, only people trying to live with themselves within human society.
