I Am Somebody's Child: The Regina Louise Story

I have been waiting for Lifetime to make movies as well as it used to years ago and...here it is. I can't believe that not only did I almost not DVR it, but I let it sit once I did, without watching for weeks. The acting in this gripping, true story is top notch and the actress who played Regina deserves an Emmy nomination for her performance. Anyone who misses this heartbreaking, poignant drama...well it's your loss. One user review was very critical of the actress who plays Regina's performance. All I can say is that you must have been watching another movie besides this one, because in this movie all of the acting was stellar, and the lead actress who played Regina was the best of the bunch. In short...she was phenomenal!

Unbelievable what this child had to go through in her young life. Is it any wonder that she would have immense anger and trust issues! And Ms. Kerr was some kind of saint! It makes me want to read the book and see how it actually was. Nonetheless, this was a most outstanding Lifetime presentation. All the actors played their roles so well, it was too real. It got me so upset with that director of the youth home. I was watching this in bed and could not turn it off until I had seen the whole thing. Then I had some really bad dreams later on in the early morning hours. I recommend this to anyone who cares about humanity and strength through hardship.

The true story of Regina Louise resounds so deeply in my soul, it nearly broke my heart watching this movie. Although my own mother was no orphan, she endured a lot of the same types of abuse and indifference Regina suffered. Not to mention the lasting effects trauma and betrayal leave behind on a young mind. Let's just say I could sympathize with her "anger problems".

Angela Fairley's performance as a young Regina was absolutely brilliant. She and Ginnifer were GREAT together and really brought to life such a sincerely heartbreaking and heartwarming story. That regardless of politics, ideologies, ignorance or any other obstacle : LOVE WILL FIND A WAY. And this amazing story proves that. Thanks Lifetime, you made my eyes sweat. Again.

I have never written a movie review, but I just had to on this one. I think this is the best Lifetime movie I've ever seen! What a beautiful story, thank you so much for sharing !

"I just want be somebody's someone" A journey of a young African American girl who is a victim of the broken system of this country from being orphan to a psychiatric facility during her adolescent years and then rises as a successful author... who finally finds what she had always pined for her entire life .. one of the most stimulating true-to-life story.. surprisingly, failed to draw critics but a must see ...
