Trivia

When Slim has a monologue in the car and Gracie is sleeping, actress Tessa Allen was actually asleep. The filmmakers tried to film while Tessa was awake, but it was hard for the young actress to keep her eyes completely still for the hour it took to film. Instead, they waited until she had a nap, and her mum picked her up and brought her into the car.

Quotes

User Reviews

good movie

if you're super critical of everything then you're never going to find more than 2 movies that you'll like in your lifetime. If you aren't then you'll like this movie. It's a thriller. It's sad and really shows the fear in abused wives, and the untouchable relationship between a daughter and a mother. Gracie, Slim (Jennifer Lopez)'s daughter, is the portrays the confused daughter stuck between both parents whom she loves, and unaware of the father's abusive behavior. Enough shows how women can stand up for themselves, and that no matter how strong, powerful, and rich someone can be, there is always a way out. Enough is a thriller movie, where the viewer is taken on a joy ride of waiting to see how Slim escapes her murderer.
