The Ya-Yas - sworn lifelong friends of Vivi - stage an unorthodox \"intervention\" to bring daughter and mother together in this warm, winning adaptation of Rebecca Well's bestsellers, written for the screen and directed by Thelma \u0026amp; Louise Academy Award winner Callie Khouri.\n\n\nAmazon.ca\n\n\nFor her directorial debut, Callie Khouri, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Thelma and Louise, chose to adapt Rebecca Wells' bestselling novel, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. It was a wise choice, as she transforms this dramedy into a work that is far more profound than it initially appears. As little girls, four friends who dubbed themselves the Ya-Yas swore loyalty to one another. Years later, they honor that promise when a conflict erupts between one of them, Vivi, and her daughter, Sidda Lee. For although Vivi has become a respectable and refined lady, she was far from an exemplary mother. The Ya-Yas then delve back into their memories to help the daughter understand her mother's eccentric past and to forgive her. Callie Khouri has succeeded in creating a nuanced and often accurate film, bringing together delightful actresses such as Ashley Judd, dazzling as the young Vivi, and Maggie Smith, delectable as a dry-witted Ya-Ya with a heart of gold. She recreates this sometimes harsh tale quite skillfully, delivering a pleasant film filled with ingenious flashbacks and supported by a fairly well-executed dramatic progression. Constantly oscillating between bittersweet, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood avoids taking a path that is too conventional and, despite a musical score that is overly sugary, casts a fresh and moving look at the difficult relationship between mother and daughter. --Helen Faradji\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 085392330829\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780790771984\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e DVD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40689041965240,"sku":"G1-92H9-6WJV","price":3.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/518ZNYYM19L.jpg?v=1634206356","url":"https:\/\/id-shop-ca.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/divine-secrets-of-the-ya-ya-sisterhood-widescreen-import","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
