Synopsis
The Evening Star (1996) is the sequel to Terms of Endearment and a film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Robert Harling. Shirley MacLaine returns as Aurora Greenway, years after her daughter's death. The family she fought to keep together has fractured: one grandson is doing time, another barely clears rent, and her granddaughter wants out of the relationship entirely.
Aurora is past seventy and still certain she knows best. She falls for a much younger therapist while managing everyone else's disasters. Jack Nicholson makes a brief return as astronaut Garrett Breedlove — the one man who apparently never stopped thinking about her. Miranda Richardson and Bill Paxton round out the cast in roles that give MacLaine someone to push against.
The original's emotional devastation isn't here, but that was never the point. This is a film about a woman who refuses to diminish gracefully — and MacLaine plays that with more honesty than the material probably deserves. Stream The Evening Star (1996) online on iFILM.
