Bug

Someone once said we're born innocent and someone else said we're born sinners. The young girl Bug loses her innocence blow by blow, tries to do the right thing and then is accused of being to blame for everything that went wrong. She has to grow up being told she's no better than the worst of them.

Dysfunctional families have so many dynamics that no one gets out unscathed. But watching it all happen to poor Bug is heart-rending. Someone once said tragedy is cathartic. I don't know if ripping wounds open is all that good for a person but this movie made me feel alive to the pain that I guess is everyone's due. Slaid Cleaves the songwriter sings at both the beginning and end of this movie "Everyone is born to sorrow".
