    Compelling film

    this is a very compelling film about the complex relationship between brother and sister made even more complicated by the brother's severe autism. beautifully filmed, beautifully acted, and enjoyable all around. many of the actors have gone on to have great success, and their passion for this project is palpable through the screen. incorporating themes ranging from illnesses including cancer and autism that are personal to an overwhelming majority of the American population, child, spousal, and sexual abuse, neglect, and most importantly family, this film tugs on the heartstrings, but leaves the viewer feeling uplifted and hopeful.

    • Trivia
      There are a couple references to the The Wizard of Oz in the early scenes of this movie. In one scene, the main character Jennifer played by Caitlin Brown is braiding her hair as they are leaving Kansas giving her the appearance of Dorothy. If you look closely enough, you can also see Dorothy's red shoes discarded on the side of the yellow (dirt) road.
