Passion Fish

CriticsCritics: 95
AudienceAudience: 7.4

After an accident leaves a former soap opera star paraplegic, she returns to her childhood home in Louisiana and struggles with anger and emotional recovery. A new live-in nurse, who is facing difficulties of her own, brings an uneasy partnership that gradually develops into friendship.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like character-driven dramas with heartfelt performances, humor, and a gradual friendship at their center; Not for you if you prefer fast-paced plots or subtle handling of every serious theme.
