Interesting story, well acted by Sally Field & Joanne Woodward. When a child actor is needed, why do directors so often settle for a kid who can spout the lines with no meaning? There are children who can act. One of the two serious problems with this movie is that the person who was the inspiration for it lied about her multiple personalities to keep seeing her therapist. The other problem is that it is about an hour too long. Some of the scenes dragged on mercilessly. I gave it a 7 only because Sally Field is tremendous in the title role.
