I can't quite understand the low rating on this film, and it exceeded my expectations as a result. This is a touching movie that, in order to lighten the mood on a serious subject, brings a bit of light humor. I laughed, and I also cried. Although the story may not be completely realistic, it was still worth watching and the acting of the little girl was excellent! Don't let the rating of this film turn you away.

Serenity
(I) (2019)
Solid film when you understand the meaning

Warning: Spoilers
I read some reviews before deciding to contribute something myself. While I have always been a fan of McConaughey, I watched this without any understanding of what it was really about until I watched it. The true meaning of this movie is basically the battling of demons within the head of a young boy who escapes the reality of a troubling and abusive household. He creates these characters (which they portray perfectly, as "characters") on the island (and in a game), with the hero being his sadly departed father. The father in his mind gives him the strength to act out in real life. Key words include the boat being called Serenity, and the fish being called Justice. This may not be the best movie I have seen, but I loved the modern twist this movie has, especially when so many kids these days (and people for that matter) are so involved in tech, mobile devices and computers.
