Good performance and story with a very valuable message to convey, I recommend it.
Very good feel-good film with a great message.
Heartwarming and wholesome. Definitely worth a watch.
Wholesome but cliche and with not much to offer cinematic-wise. The story is good and interesting, performances good, but meh ev. else. 5/10
A hidden gem - a beautiful portrayal of the realities of suffering and how people from different cultures can come together
It would have been so much better if the focus wasn't on Reese Witherspoon's character. But other than that, it's a brilliant true story.
A good, heartwarming film and a noteworthy performance from Witherspoon. I wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised.
We had got this from the library a couple times and then we finally decided to watch it I'm glad we did it's a good movie
Not my cuppa
Heartfelt story. Worth to watch.
