Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer Exceptionally fine performances elevate what could have been a pile-it-on melodrama into something deeper and more unsettling. Rated: 3/4 Apr 2, 2009 Full Review Fr. Chris Carpenter Movie Dearest Unrelentingly grim...Despite some excellent performances, (the film) offers little that hasn't been shown or said before.

Audience Member A captivating and gritty look at everyday lives. This film captures seemingly simple moments, but at the same time, tackles big issues, like abuse, sexuality, and family dynamics. I enjoyed it very much, and identified with it at many points throughout. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This had so many upsetting parts. It was just scene after scene of crises, abuse, poverty, and decline. It was hard to watch at times, but to me, it shows how poverty and crime and abuse are often linked. It also illustrated how abuse can be an ongoing cycle with detrimental effects to those involved. Worth watching. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Emotionally charged. Tense. She truly gets to the heart of chaos in a family plagued by a generational curse. Raw and unforgiving but beautifully cut. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member the story of a family and extended family starting the 1980's until now and the turmoils of their families and those around them. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A sad, sad tale of abuse and poverty. Vicious cycle can't seem to be broken⦠the misery and tragedy keeps repeating. The women seem to be the victims of their pathetic environment. It's all about sex and money, and there seems no way to get beyond it! Yet an education seems like the only way to open any door towards freedom, independence and enlightenment. Strong story of survival. All you want is for Kari to get out and succeed. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member ....makes you grateful in every aspect of your life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
