This movie is so good and underrated! It's full of amazing actors before they became famous and they all give it their best. Just watch it!
Maybe my favorite Brie Larson performance, and a good supporting cast discussing an important social category.
So much here story and theme wise, the execution falls short with a cheesy production style. Worth a rewatch.
Intimate and touching story of troubled youths. It feels very realistic and puts you in the front row of a foster home. Great performances
Larson and Malek get all the praise but objectively Stanfield absolutely steals the show. One of the strongest performances I’ve ever seen.
This is a great and very slept on movie.
Ready to get in your feels? This movie provides perspective on struggles which aren't always discussed in the world and portrayed in movies.
A heartwarming and beautifully moving story. Cried 5x :,)
Neat gem. From the director's experience of dealing with troubled teens. Feels very real and the feels like the performances are spot on.
Very slow build, but so worth it. Brie Larson in this movie brought me through so many emotions, words are not enough. Beautiful movie!
