My review · Reviewed 11/27/2019
I'll just put it right out there - I loved this movie. The film walked a really delicate balance in that it was not preachy or whiny or judgmental. I think this story has been told many times before but I don't recall seeing a version that was brutally honest and at times touching without going too far in either direction. The final scene stays true to the movie - I am glad that it wasn't an "a-ha" moment.
