Strange Relations (2001 TV Movie)
Absolutely Outstanding, Julie Walters at her best
30 November 2001
Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS *** This is the best made for-TV movie that I've seen in years. It's powerful and breath taking. It starts off with Jerry (Reiser) discovering he has lukiemia and his mother (Dukakis) tells him that she's not his birth mother. So he goes to Liverpool in England to find her. Then Julie Walters comes in. She plays Sheila, she's a poor working class cleaner. And Paul meets her and explains who he his but doesn't tell her about the cancer. So he tries to trick his 2 half brothers into taking blood tests to see if their bone marrow matches (it doesn't) then one of the brothers walks in on Paul injecting himself and so his family doesn't think he's on drugs he tells them about the cancer. Then later on Sheila comes out and says that the father of Pual was her own Uncle who melested her at 16.

This is a powerful drama with each actor giving a heart throbbing preformance. It has it all tears, humour and love. Watch it you won't be dissopointed.
