1982

I just read a review where someone stated that they couldn't see how a mom could go from being good to bad so fast well let me tell you by experience this movie got it right. Drugs can take an upper middle class very well educated loving devoted mother and wife and turn her into a monster over night. I love the fact that this movie shows how addiction affects family and the fact that it was the mom and not the dad who was an addict. In reality a larger number of addict are upper middle class women not men. A must see movie especially for those whom have no idea how addiction changes the user in an instant nor the effects it has on their family and friends. Well done Hill Harper and thank you for this heart achingly wonderful movie... From a 6yr recovering addict

What drew me in was all the familiar faces, then the plot. The pace of this movie is very very slow. The scenes feel too long. It has a decent story but I feel there should have been more.

(Had to triple my review to meet required length)

Just let it play in the background while you do other things. What drew me in was all the familiar faces, then the plot. The pace of this movie is very very slow. The scenes feel too long. It has a decent story but I feel there should have been more.

Overall this is a good movie, but there was zero build up to her returning to being a drug user. It was like today she's a loving mom and wife and the next scene she's crackhead. Also I would've like a little bit more action. The problems wasn't the acting it was in the writing. A good watch, but worthy of 6 - 6.5 stars in my opinion.

This is a powerful and moving drama. I was captivated by the performances of the actors, particularly with Hill Harper as the concerned father and Troi Zee as the little girl trapped between her love for her mother and downward spiral of drug addiction that changes her into a stranger. I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to see a well acted family drama about how the power of love can keep a family together with hope even during the most trying of times.

I feel the movie is very believable it is possible for someone that truly loves his wife and child unconditionally with all of him. I read the 1 review and when making a movie you have to cram a story into a hour even if the events last years. I have seen people on drugs and the struggle that some go through. Some have a support system and some don't ,some can kick the drug addiction and some cant. Drugs will change your personality overnight and have you looking at the person in shock. I would say the movie is great the actors are effortless the story is heartfelt filled with love with the fight for survival in a world of drugs. To try to save a loved one from drugs takes a toll on everyone around.
