"Absence of the Good" is a movie which illustrates the escalating destruction which can be caused by dysfunctional upbringings., 19 November 2001
9/10
Author: Alephael from Baytown, TX

The movie illustrates in an accurate and effective manner the existence of evil and sinisterness. Furthermore, it presents an overview of how much damage we each can do with our actions, words, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs; that damage radiating out to everyone else either consciously or subconsciously, and having more intense effects upon those who are weaker or more vulnerable, i.e., little children.
