Just try telling Carrie Watts that you can’t go home again. This elderly Texan, determined to make her way back to a town that time and everyone but she has forgot, bristles with restless gumption, fueled by an indomitable spirit that erupts in hymns she can’t stop humming — or singing, as in a memorable scene set in a deserted bus station after midnight.
On Broadway, where Cicely Tyson won a Tony Award last year for her luminous performance as Carrie in a revival of The Trip to Bountiful, audiences often joined in as she sang “Blessed Assurance” in the play’s rapturous high point. And for a moment, in Lifetime’s languid movie adaptation (Saturday, 8/7c), you might find your own living room transformed into a choir loft.
