...Rimes' grandmother. Tender, bright, steady, Schull succeeds in making you actually care whether Grandma Teeden pulls through. In a flashback she visits the Rimes character (played here by a little girl) in the hospital, and when they begin to sing Amazing Grace, the susceptible viewer will begin to blubber. Of course, if it is attached like a parasite to Amazing Grace, any scene will be moving, but here the results are earned...

They ate seal meat and blubber, wiped the grease from their lips with partridge wings and talked mostly of hunting and sled dogs...
