This is one of the most honest, disturbing yet beautiful explorations of a subject that is all too often over-simplified or dealt with extremely heavy-handily.
The way that the abuse is discussed within the characters frozen in time in the main character's psyche, is profound and unflinchingly honest. The discussions in real-life between mother and daughter - painfully real.
I will be thinking about this film for some time to come, it is an invitation to look much more closely at the stories we tell ourselves, especially with regards to "love".

What a perfect depiction of the life of a PTSD sufferer, understated and intimate - I have never seen such a candid portrayal of the day-to-day strife post-trauma!
As a film it is beautifully directed and skilfully carried in virtual silence by Bryan Kaplan who is painfully insular and brooding, yet longing for connection and joys of the life he once had.
Really enjoyed watching it and found it completely cathartic!

I am so surprised and slightly disgusted at the amount of bad reviews there are on The Cleveland Show. As at least one other has said, I can only put this down to some form of obscured racism.
Objectively this is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen, if watched as intended. It is warmer than Family Guy but no less shocking, and it packs in as many jokes as American Dad. It really does stand it's own, with flying colours in my opinion.
It is absurd. It is supposed to be! It isn't particularly political, it doesn't delve too deeply in to anything in-particular, but it is consistently laugh-out-loud funny. It is intended for audiences who want to be entertained and don't mind if it's an over-weight, African American family doing it, no attention span required.
Think Spongebob, but longer, ruder, funnier. Do yourself a favour and open your mind, forget what you have heard and prepare to laugh, a lot. Or just copy what everyone else says and does and be a passive-racist.
