Discarded Things

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

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.

Another great part from Karen Abercrombie! 👏 Loved the main part of the film. 🎥 Music therapy is very important in my family (both husband and daughter are music therapists), but close to the end I found myself really hoping they wouldn't ruin the end; they did. 😥 But except the end, the story is good.👍

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.

A really beautiful movie, excellent script, awesome casting, great directing & OUTSTANDING music. A stellar performance by the lead actress, Karen Abercrombie, makes this well worth the watch. I also really loved the teenagers - portrayed very believably & really moving dialogues for each of them. This is easily my most favorite movie from PureFlix so far. I cried twice!! Highly recommend for a quiet Sunday afternoon. The title song, "Discarded Things" by Ian Grey, is LOVELY. I'm going to look for it on ITunes. Very enjoyable.
