Discarded Things

I felt that this movie was so relatable, and that each unfolding event was filled with surprising turns that kept me entertained. So many things I have gone thru myself, I relate to much of the story

This was an uplifting movie. However, as a recovering addict myself, they made rehab look like a cakewalk, and see if she just walked in was sick a few days and magically was fixed and got out. That is absolutely not the way it works. Granted, she had money and could go to a nice facility where she had a private room and all, but they did not show the facility giving her anything at all to help with her withdrawal, which can actually result in death if they don't give you something. Also showed no group meetings, none of the work that is necessary or happens in a decent rehab. Not a good movie for people who need to go to rehab.

Guaranteed to have you talking to the screen and ready to defend the main character throughout the movie.

The only reason I gave 9 stars was because I felt left on a cliff by not knowing what happened with the kids. I know that the story was centered around Grace, but I wanted to know what happened with the rest of the characters. I laughed, I cried and I had my kids go back and watch the movie. Karen Ambercrombie is a great actress. I have loved everything I have seen her in.

I thought this film was just alright. I have to admit, it had some good characters. I felt for the characters' struggles and understood their issues; therefore, the writing was effective in portraying relatable characters. However, some of the performances weren't so great. The delivery of dialogue felt unconvincing at times, and didn't have the realism it could have had. Also, the emotional impact of certain situations were lessened by the fast-paced plot; it didn't take long before the main events were set into place. However, the cinematography did add to the realistic feel of the film by portraying certain scenes using shots to make it feel realistic to the audience. Overall, I have mixed feelings about this film, but this still is a pretty good movie.
