Ausgewählte Rezension

10/10

A woman loses her husband, job and house, and tries to survive with her daughter. At the end she has to make a hard decision.

A complaint against poverty. Even more gripping than its portrayal of the sad situation in which the woman finds herself is the hopelessness of it, as can for be heard in her remark 'without a house I cannot get a job and without a job I cannot get a house.' The movie provides no answers, but that is a strength more than a weakness, making the viewer even more aware of the seriousness of the problem at hand. It does make for a sad movie, though.

When Theresa first looks at her low-income apartment, lots of holes and other damage are visible in the walls; the damage changes and even disappears in later scenes.

Zitate
Theresa Johnson: [to Hillary] Honey, it's almost lunchtime. I'm gonna go get us some sandwiches. Do you think you can stay here and play by yourself for a little while?
Hillary Johnson: Yeah, I wanna go on the swings.
[as she runs towards them]
Theresa Johnson: Good.
[pause]
Theresa Johnson: No, wait!
[she beckons Hillary back over]
Theresa Johnson: Don't forget Mary Beth!
[hands Hillary her doll]
Hillary Johnson: [happily] Okay.
[she runs back to the swings, Theresa walks off to a large tree in the park and hides behind it, watching Hillary swing as Reed's van pulls up. He exits the vehicle with a social worker]
Calvin Reed: Hillary!
Hillary Johnson: [happy to see him] Hi!
Calvin Reed: Hi! Could you come over here, please?
Hillary Johnson: [getting off the swing and walks to him] Mom's gone. She went to get sandwiches.
Calvin Reed: I know. She asked me to come get you, take you over to my house.
Hillary Johnson: Why? Is she gonna be there?
Calvin Reed: [patiently] Now Hillary, you and I are going to have to talk about some things.
Hillary Johnson: [pointing to the social worker] Who's that?
Calvin Reed: Her name is Mrs. McCurdy, and she's a very nice lady. She's going to come with me.
Hillary Johnson: [protesting as Calvin leads her to his van] But I'm not supposed to go with anybody but my mommy.
Calvin Reed: [as Theresa watches from behind the tree, crying] I know, sweetheart. But this time is different.
Hillary Johnson: [frightened] My mommy told me to stay here.
Calvin Reed: [soothingly] It's OK, we're just gonna go over to my house.
Hillary Johnson: [crying] Why can't we wait for her?
