		SARA'S SUMMER OF THE SWANS is probably one of the most beautiful telefilms ever produced; it is virtually a perfect film, and conveys a personal evolution so endearing and profound as to be indelible.

		SARA'S SUMMER OF THE SWANS is a striking and nearly flawless drama, surely one of the crown jewels of the After School Specials.
