I recorded this because I love Octavia Spencer and Tig Notaro. However, my DVR is nearly full, so I fully expected to watch 10 minutes and delete it since I can't stand Mark Wahlberg. I was so taken with the story and performances that rang true (even the normally unpleasant Walhberg) that I stayed up until 3 a.m. Watching every minute. It was sweet, sad, funny, traumatic, stressful, and ultimately incredibly satisfying. The children were particularly great --- not a false note or a second of cringeworthy emoting.

I found it visually gorgeous throughout, which ain't nothing. The characters could be better revealed and a lot is glossed over, both morally and practically speaking, but the actors were fine and the story was interesting. I'd never watch it again, but had to weigh in to provide some balance for all the haters.

I enjoyed this SO much. Unusual story told quite well, and all the actors were great. Probably hard to find, but if you get a chance, watch it!
