Would give it a10 if Amy Madigan had appeared in the end

Rating: 9/10 (31 December 2018)

A truly heart wrenching film well done by Ben and his adorable brother Casey who deserves so much more from Hollywood in recognition and awards! He was brilliant in his portrayal of bred and born Bostoneer? Not sure what they call themselves as I am a born and bred Texan so I'm sure I'm not an expert in Bostontonians, maybe that's what they call themselves, lol. I just know I was completely sold! Casey was so good in this and love him in so many ways other than just being Ben's cute little brother, I was the cute little sister of a bigger than life older brother so I can relate to his plight! He truly is a great actor and I hope to see more of him in bigger films! I love that he made such a difficult decision in the end that many will hate or love or be completely lost at what was right. He definitely made what I felt was the right one as hard as it was and not knowing how this precious girl would be impacted by it. The truth sadly sometimes is the hardest but the right thing. That sweet child deserved to live her life by truth. I was adopted and was very fortunate to be raised by good and loving parents but they told me at such an early age I never thought it was a bad thing and was taken aback by others responses when they found out I was adopted, like it was a huge thing. I do wonder now about why I was given up and wher I really came from but if my parents had stolen me from a mom who probably should have given me up because she just wasn't capable of giving me a better life and found out later on well that would have screwed me up royally! I'm sad my biological family gave me up and have questions of course but if they didn't want to give me up and I learned my very loving parents actually kidnapped me from a terrible mom but loved and wanted me, wow. How could you handle that so I know he made the right decision. My only issue with the movie was Amy Madigan not being there at the end. The one person who truly loved and cared about the girl from the start! I would have loved to see her get to reunite with that precious girl. Loved that Casey was obviously going to make sure the girl would be safe going back to a not so great mom, she was and continued to be a crappy mom but what about Madigan? Maybe child services could have placed the girl with her?
