Enormous Changes at the Last Minute
About the Film
Year: 1985
Enormous Changes is a tough and funny film about three women living and struggling with relationships in New York City. Three overlapping vignettes, adapted from short stories by Grace Paley, tell of motherhood, love, and disappointment in New York City.
“Sky high in its expressiveness… down to earth in its humanity… one of those rare films that breathe life into a literary property rather than sucking life from it.”
