      Audience Member Lexi Randall stands out. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This a rare chance to see Sarah Jessica Parker perform in a honest script without flashiness at the early points in her career. She does an amazing job of playing this very difficult role and making the audience connect with a character that they would rather just not like and push away. All of the children in this film are AMAZING at being able to convey such intense emotions and understand their deep roles. This is not an easy movie to find as it was made for TV and it's rather old now but it's worth putting in the effort to search for! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is one of the best if not the best for accurately portraying the roles of Human Resource Departments. BRAVO! We need more realistic portrayals like this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie is so good i just wacth it today on wetv i have not seen it in soo long cues the last time that i wacth it was with my mom Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member An eye opener to mental illness and how that can effect a person ability to not only parent, but make choices that are sound for herself as well.....make sure you have a box of tissue handy..... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member A revealing film about mental illness and the effect of the foster care system on all parties involved.
