...grew out of improvisations at Robert Redford's Sundance Institute, so a wary male critic is at least prepared for the film's politically correct earnestness. One of the group, Natalie (JoBeth Williams), is a movie critic who raises money to make a film about homeless women. Another, Maggie (Talia Shire), is a nun who faces a spiritual crisis after she helps a woman get an abortion. There are lesbian revelations, a discussion of the Anita Hill hearings and rampant man bashing. Rheza (Lindsay Crouse) has been dumped by her husband and bears a grudge.

His son Anthony (Franc D'Ambrosio) has eyes to become an opera singer. His daughter Mary (Sofia Coppola) is itching to grow up and fall in love...
...tells the story of Ellsworth "Sonny" Wisecarver, a youth who was too young to be kicking Nazi butt during that gloriously simple timne, so did the next best thing: ran away with an older woman. Two, in fact--one played by Beverly D'Angelo and the other by Talia Balsam...
