As a mother, I had to shut my own eyes....

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2018)

To give an accurate review, here is a brief overview of my life... I have never heard of this movie or book before.
In the encapturement of how the movie absolutely had me drawn from the start, I feel it necessary to have a degree of understanding in order to relation of how a movie just draws you in.
I am a single mother of a boy and girl. I own a small business, keep a roof over head and have worked countlessly in effort of "survival." I tell it like it is. I am firm in Truth with my children and from the opening scene alone, Sandra nailed what a mother in that situation would emit. No BS. Listen or we are screwed. I could relate, hence, the movie had me glued immediately.
There were times where the movie felt light, but the desire and will of what a mother will do for her children, was beautifully portrayed by Sandra. The overall message of the film was scripted so simply, you must have senses other than the eyes to witness it.
Emotion filled movie had me on the edge of my seat. The risks of a mother, the innocence of children, the coming together of strangers. Great concept and wonderful execution.

Sandra was absolutely remarkable!
