I loved the simplicity of this movie. A war vet with post traumatic disorder and a young, abused girl, with a mother who had drug problems. It was a heart and tear movie.
I loved how the two main characters blended together. I know nothing of the actors. The only thing I would have liked to see different, as addiction still is so misunderstood, is if her "mom" was in treatment and getting better. I, myself, am an recovering alcoholic. I have never burned a child or hurt another human being. But, being in the AA program, I understand what substance abuse does to someone and those who love them.
I did not like that her "mom" was getting help, but I was a little girl like her, a "little adult," just as she was, so I totally understood how adult she was at a very young age.
This is a lovely movie,for so many reasons. Two folks coming together from different ages and different experiences, sharing and learning together. That's what we do in AA, I wish the whole world would take notice and could work together the same way.

By the way, this is my first review ever. For whatever that means.
Take care, and look at others in a different light. They might be just like you or agree with whatever you do in your lives. Not one of us is perfect. Give yourself and others a break.
Thanks, Cathy PS - you don't have to be a Christian to understand this movie. Ask me why. It's a bit explanation.
