    Beautiful Little Movie about Acceptance
    I'm really glad I watched this beautiful little independent movie about acceptance, being accepted but also accepting yourself and your life circumstances no matter what they are.

    If you ever felt lonely, unloved, different, weird or ashamed this movie is for you.

    It's also somewhat romantic, funny and and very well played on top of that. Carrie Ann Moss excels as the therapist.

    The movie is not fast and furious though, it's slow and compassionate. So don't expect action or drama, just accurate character depiction and development. Kudos for the attention to detail from start to finish.
