Great, engaging story, but the mother is such an overcritical stereotype that she is not credible as a character, and everyone's tolerance of her is not credible either. In normal life, someone would kill that bi-ch.
Still Saorise Ronan is plugging again for her second Oscar, and could get it here. I can see her winning two or three in her lifetime.
I felt connected to the movie, but not enveloped by it as I expected after seeing its unanimous rating as excellent. Somehow, I think its not headed for best picture.
But, it certainly doesn't have to be. It's probably the best picture I've seen so far in this lackluster Christmas season (Dec 9, 2017.) I'm still looking for one that "makes my year."
