This film was described as "the story of a bitter mother with an autistic child". But actually, what you get is a lot, lot more. It's a very good film indeed and that's why I gave it a 10 score. Of course its shocking and you'll cry like a baby, (I used two Kleenex with no possibility of recycling them in my pocket for tomorrow). I am really glad I watched it alone, too. Sometimes you just want to weep for all the world in private, and this film will make you weep for all autistic children and the people that love them and the people that don't. I am not saying that Rosetta's mother doesn't love her, its just in my view, she loved herself a whole lot more.
I was blown away by the relationship between the sisters. Its terribly sad that this poor girl was lumbered with a mother who was poorly equipped to cope but thank goodness, she had a sister like Amanda Plummer.
I think the closing scenes of this film will stay with me forever. Brilliant performances....I'm gonna try and source the book.
