Besides a good story and fantastic filmography, this production reveals how victims become further victimized by being so deeply misunderstood.
How is it that when victims react to their abuse, THEY are the ones who are reviled?? This movie is a perfect portrait of this outrageously common injustice -- and how, in this case, a victim's strength of character prevailed and exonerated her on all fronts.
I had the impression from trailers long ago that this was a typical Stephen King horror flick -- okay, maybe it was Kathy Bates smashing a window with an ax??
That was very misleading. She IS angry at what some yahoos have done to her house, but the oh-so-brief ax scene is not gratuitous violence, as you will see.
This moving, instructive film ought to be shown in every mental health center throughout the land!

This movie is authentic nostalgia for anyone who grew up in the mid-west in the 50's and 60's. It's what life looked like when I myself "came down to this planet" in the late 1940's and experienced my teens in the 60's.
The old school with high ceilings and gleaming wooden floors, the gyms with the gold-toned wall-tiles, even the hospital scene with the nurse in her starched white uniform -- all evoke a peculiar beauty that you no longer find today.
There is even a scene where a young teen girl yells "NO!" to an unjust referee call, and her pointy glasses and pony tail look so much like me back then, it feels like a glimpse into a parallel dimension.
I'd say this is a must-see experience for people my age -- although all ages can thoroughly enjoy the basketball action.
I'm glad for the social progress since then. But there is a "peculiar beauty" from those times that is starkly missing today.
