Reviews
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
