Discarded Things

Ok. This movie was absolutely amazing. Dang. It started a little off - but... man -its up there now in my favorite movies.

Guaranteed to have you talking to the screen and ready to defend the main character throughout the movie.

I felt that this movie was so relatable, and that each unfolding event was filled with surprising turns that kept me entertained. So many things I have gone thru myself, I relate to much of the story

This was an uplifting movie. However, as a recovering addict myself, they made rehab look like a cakewalk, and see if she just walked in was sick a few days and magically was fixed and got out. That is absolutely not the way it works. Granted, she had money and could go to a nice facility where she had a private room and all, but they did not show the facility giving her anything at all to help with her withdrawal, which can actually result in death if they don't give you something. Also showed no group meetings, none of the work that is necessary or happens in a decent rehab. Not a good movie for people who need to go to rehab.

The only reason I gave 9 stars was because I felt left on a cliff by not knowing what happened with the kids. I know that the story was centered around Grace, but I wanted to know what happened with the rest of the characters. I laughed, I cried and I had my kids go back and watch the movie. Karen Ambercrombie is a great actress. I have loved everything I have seen her in.
