I suppose that the biggest fear for those mothers would be to see their dear children becoming dangerous, a bit like « the exorcist ». Here, this menace happens for a rebellious, lost teen daughter and the family is torn to shreds ! For a humble TV movie, i found that the story is remarkably well written : it seems totally believable, even when things turn bad ! The reactions of all families members seems genuine so it's really gripping and moving ! The production is well done as we really inhabits the house for this long winter and for sure, the cast is wonderful : Miss Kern is the iconic mother from sitcoms, for one time, the father takes the matter in his hands and Hilary stuns with her early talent : she plays like an old Oscar nominee and her very personal style, simple and honest, takes her apart from all others starlets ! Usually, TV movie are crippled movies but not this one !
