A Beautiful Film That Deserves More Praise Than It Gets!5
I first saw this movie back in 2003, by complete chance, and immediately fell in love with it. Today, it remains one of my most beloved films. It is a shame that it doesn't appear to get the level of recognition that it deserves, as it is one of the most poignant and heartfelt movies I have ever come across. All of the cast members shine in their respective roles.

Jean Smart delivers a particularly striking performance as Margaret Thomas, a woman with a mental disability, who is the mother of six young boys. Margaret shares a loving and content life with her husband, Jake (Robert Pastorelli), who supports the family doing factory work. However, when her husband is diagnosed with a mental illness and becomes too ill to care for Margaret and their children, the family is thrown into peril. When Child Protective Services intervenes and the state deems Margaret unfit to care for her sons given her delayed mental capacity, Margaret is forced to fight to keep her family together. At their darkest hour, the family looks as if they might dissolve, but Margaret's strength, perseverance, and devotion to her children ultimately proves that there is nothing more powerful than the bond between a mother and her children.

I am elated to see that The Yarn Princess has finally been released on DVD. It is a beautiful movie that has something to offer everyone, and I would recommend it to anybody who would take the time to watch it.
