Deidra B 07/18/2024 Love this movie too bad I can't never find it anywhere to stream or watch. See more Jamica C 07/07/2024 A must see. This was absolutely an intense drama movie, with great acting that makes you believe the characters. It is one of My favorite classics & hard to find on any streaming network to watch again & again. Please share if you know where this movie can be watched! See more Lisa L 10/17/2023 Superb acting. Excellent movie. See more Steve D 09/17/2023 It is pure melodrama but well acted melodrama. See more Rosana B 09/24/2022 Esses filmes doem tanto na alma, que ficamos com peso, e um aperto no coração terrível quando terminamos, nesse especialmente, fiquei contando os minutos para o filme terminar, para que o sofrimento da própria menina pudesse ter fim, acreditando no final feliz, que infelizmente não veio, ainda não compreendo como algumas mães conseguem escolher entre um marido abusador aos filhos, ainda não compreendo e nunca compreenderei, filme magistralmente divino, pois me fez sentir todo ojeriza e ódio... See more 12/16/2021 Showtime television and Angelica Houston directs Jena Malone's feature film debut starring next to Jennifer Jason Leigh, Christina Ricci, and Dermont Mulroney I remember reading the book by Dorothy Allison back in middle school for English class It was one of the toughest stories to digest The movie starts off with 3 people driving then get into an accident Anney is the sister of two; who is almost killed in the car wreck and she gives birth to a girl named Ruth Anne 'Bone' Her baby was certified as a bastard child by the state of South Carolina Anney marries a kind gentleman Lyle Parsons Things change drastically though as Lyle dies and she ends up married again only this time to a hotheaded abusive monster Glen He takes advantage of Bone by physically and mentally abusing her because of his erratic behavior, bad job record, and tough love from his own father These two women face the toughest portions of their lives living through grief, hardship, resolve, bravery, and torment For a tv adaptation this is some of the best acting from Jena Malone and Jennifer Jason Leigh Very harsh emotions to deal with given that this a middle-American setting of poverty-stricken citizens No woman should be forced to choose between her children and her husband, we all do terrible things, forgiveness seems almost impossible, love blinds us to everything, our children should not have to suffer for anyone, can daughters be like their mothers? A difficult movie to absorb but a terrific adaptation nonetheless Shows a lot of stuff of womanhood and the struggles of maternal life in a poorer part of the world wondering if anyone can depend on one another See more Read all reviews
