True as life is

This is as real is life gets. If your looking for a Hollywood blockbuster, this is your cue. Leave. If you want a true portrait of human reaction. This is your time to stay. Maybe to reflect, maybe to heal. This is as real as it gets. Not that this is every persons realm of reality. This is just someone's chapter.

A good character study but not much else

Good acting was the only thing that made this slow, brooding film watchable. It's clear the writer/director/lead actress had a clear vision for the film but I'm not sure she accomplished much past showcasing her admittedly great acting skills. Maybe too good in that the character was so cold as to be unlikable. In fact all of the actors, including the kids, turned in strong performances. But it's the story, plot, etc that left a lot to be desired.It meandered on. Lots and lots of dead space with the camera stuck on the lead character's sour face staring into nowhere or doing something trivial like staring at her phone. And while most of the story didn't give enough, there were random parts thrown in that tried way too hard like the "racist" angle. Really didn't seem to have a point except to provide a sanctimonious liberal a sounding board.Ultimately I just think the movie wanted to be more than it was. The plot was too thin, not enough background provided, and the theme to the extent there was one, was oversold. Made for a dark movie with very little light and payoff for the audience. So in the end, you're just left with a solid acting showcase and not much else.
