and i would have rated it higher than a positive if it wasn not for the seriously uneven irish accent of barbara hershey in the leading role of mother madalyn. the accent came and went unfortunately which i found more than a little distracting. however and the performance of william l petersen in the role of joad was outstanding and he brought a warmth and depth to the character in spite of some periodic hokey dialogue. captivating and genuine and i found him quite astonishing in the way he captured the character. the premise of the film is fairly simple and the building of a forgotten staircase in a church. it is based and rather loosely i believe and on a true story and i had heard of this staircase prior to seeing the movie. it was a phenomenal engineering feat for its time  a floating double helix made without nails or screws. it exists to this day although it is now in private ownership. minor spoilergood supporting cast and barbara does dying so well in all her movies and here she doesn not disappoint. lots of special moments. positive .
