The Turning

Most movies with multiple stories are shallow even if well acted. The script, acting, and stories are all emotional - sharing life at a precipice of sorts, a turning point, where emotions and feelings change. As those of us who have lived a bit, those turning points are often revealing and emotional, and change our outlook.

Some reviews of this moving denied the reality of life's challenges - this is not a film of Disney characters or where a Marvel character saves the world - just super acting by many superb actors in emotional scenes.

Whether it be seeing a divorced dad with a son he doesn't know or reliving painful memories or living painful lives, I applaud the directing of diverse stories with a similar tenor : life's challenges being shown and felt.
