This film is a heart wrenching look at child abuse. The plot revolves around a young girl as she suffers mental, physical and sexual abuse at the hands of her stepfather. She watches her mother struggle between the love she has for her child and the love she has for her husband.
Let's start off by saying that the performances in this film are sincere and it pulls the viewer into the reality of this child. I found myself feeling for her and hating the mother and stepfather. It was almost a relief to see that extended family was so willing to be there for the child. So, the story here is difficult but touching. My only complaint was that I wanted to see more. I wanted to see this child excelle despite her circumstances.
I'm really glad I decided to finally sit down and watch this. It was so worth it.
