User Reviews

Rare These Days to Find a Good Movie Such as This >Except=

Director & Writer: Katherine Dieckmann really excelled. Editing was good as was the passion felt by all the actors. Holly Hunter was exceptional ! Just sad to see once again, the pain that Mothers and Fathers feel by the loss of their child, had the added, (unnecessary addition) of a lesbo relationship.

I always believe that every person should live their life as they choose. However Katherine Dieckmann, it really was not necessary, as it took away part of the centro of the movie = The mother's fight and her pain of losing her son.. JMO.

It was still a very good movie..
