    depressing
    Downright depressing. I watch films to escape or to see the joyousness of life - basically this is about child abuse. We all know what that is - and the adults who do it are downright ILL. For that reason, this film is brilliant and depicts the mental illness in adults very well - and their inability to connect with their own compassion and understanding. Makes you realise that just because a person can have a child, doesn't mean they are a parent. Throws up the whole notion of family and how damaging it is for some people.

    If anything this film could be used to force EVERYONE to take a parenting course and to be observed and examined in the action of parenting.

    It was realistic - but sad, depressing and well, if you are in the mood of getting depressed, watch this one.

    I was really wanting to see what the kid turned into as an adult. Just another junkie?? It leaves you dissatisfied completely in that respect.
