After reading reviews I was expecting an amazing movie. I was left feeling underwhelmed.
Whilst I understand and appreciate the point of the story, it didn't play out that well on screen. It wasn't terrible and I didn't switch off but for me there simply wasn't enough going on to report this as anything other than a sub standard drama when I assumed it was a thriller from the synopsis.
A woman locked in a pantry cupboard by her drug addicted ex for him to disappear and leave the house, leaving her children unattended. The whole movie is her passing apple butter under the door to her little girl, her eating apple butter and trying to use a screwdriver to dig her way out under the floor.
With standard acting and not much other than watching her take breaks in between digging a screwdriver into the floor whilst talking to her child didn't exactly make a great movie.
The outcome was that she started a new, beat her drug addiction and made a go of things using her late Grandma's apple butter recipe. If she hadn't of been locked in the pantry with apple butter, she would never of found the recipe, which ultimately turned her life around.
Nice idea but didn't make for essential viewing.
