A realistic, gritty, and intelligent film. Amazing acting and a great script. Unapologetic and straightforward with its themes and messages.
The resemblence of the characters in the movie with the real persons of the story is unbelievable! Nice work, but not for everyone...
Watched with my mom and we kept criticizing the addicted mom.
Feels run-off-the-mill, but it's not mild. What's brilliant is the delivery, specially when you see the footage of the original characters!
Great story with a great cast! Watched long before the election and it’s a good story.
Family’s what matters...and if you relate to this film then you know exactly what I’m talking about.
From someone that has come from this cycle, this hit home pretty hard. So much raw emotion involved
Great snapshot of America at the start of 2020, but also a little too optimistic about people from small towns
Most ivy league classrooms probably have at least one scholarship kid who could tell stories like this. Unremarkable.
Wonderful, superb acting. Everything else very predictable. Sometimes it drags too much.
