Emotional, great movie.

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2018)

This movie hits you with a lot of emotions. One of the largest I got is sadness and frustration knowing that there are people out there right now, locked up, used and abused. Disgusting that such a thing still exists, and sad that it always will.
I hope this movie will help people understand the mental effects from all kinds of abuse, and to have patience and understanding for anyone they may encounter in life who has been through something so horrible.
The strength of the mother and the child was an impressive thing to see. Instead of giving up, she did her best to turn a small shack into the world for her boy. It would be incredibly difficult to raise a child in that situation, and especially one who is happy and loving.
The acting was amazing by Brie and Jacob. Jacob especially did such a great job for someone so young. This must have been a difficult job for him but he handled it perfectly.
Brie had to show such a large range of emotion, and earned her awards for sure. You believe every bit of it.
I can't say much about the actual story without giving things away. I suggest if you haven't seen this, go watch it now. Don't watch a trailer, don't read any more reviews. That's how I went into it, and I think that is the best way to see it.
This movie deserves every bit of a 9/10. A difficult subject, but one that needs to be seen and felt.
