A good movie which shows us the enormous influence one person can have on our lives in times of crisis. One faithful brother who truly helps, no matter all the stubbornness of her who ought to receive his help. And one friend far away who is also persistent enough to overcome insults, who looks behind the hurt and decides to help, while he is indeed the one who needs help. This is the real and very biblical essence of the movie, to show us that the only way out of misery is to help others, such as the cashier or the handicapped friend. Once we help, we forget about ourselves and heal on the go.
PROS
+ Good actors, not overacting as so often seen when it comes to dramata.
+ A slow pace of the movie (which is good) and a deep dive into the crisis of Becca.
+ Beautiful theme of forgiveness between daughter - mother, and ex-partners.
NEUTRAL
- The Christian theme is not strong. The first ever hint of anything related to faith comes at minute 81: "Look at it this way - if God can forgive me for all I do, then how can I not forgive others?" The movie does not include any salvation, but at least underlying themes of Christianity.
CONS
- The main actor describes herself as having overweight, but the screen shows something different.
- The opening scene with several minutes of a door bell is very annoying.
- The movie employs a quote from Eddie Rickenbacker, member of the Los Angeles Elks Lodge #99, a Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (Rites, traditions, and regalia from the Freemasons).
- One foul language 'Son of a b...'
- Sublime endorsement of the American Rep***ican party.
