La vita che verrà - Herself

Clare Dunne is excellent in this film. Her vulnerability and trauma are palpable. The story, which she wrote, is a bit formulaic. But it's a worthy film. There are some corny and melodramatic moments. But the heart of the film is true.

My wife and I managed to watch this on Amazon streaming movies. With the at times thick Irish accent we didn't always understand the dialog but it was still clear what was going on.

A nice, caring, and hard-working mother of two girls has an abusive husband, the kind that will be very caring at times but when angry will get very physically abusive. She has no choice after one especially violent beating, she has to move out and get government help with housing, typically a hotel room.

She works two jobs, one of them helping to care for an older lady doctor who, when she found out about the situation, offered the land behind her house, if the lady wanted to build her own house. So with the internet and lots of friendly volunteer help, the house went up.

We found this to be a very worthwhile movie, even though we see some of the abuse depicted most of the movie is the mother finding ways to care for her girls and get on with rebuilding her life, literally and figuratively.

... but ultimately empowering, inspiring, enabling and encouraging, that from a beaten and broken relationship, with all the odds overwhelmingly in opposition, the spirit and drive to fight and survive remains, through an incredibly realistic performance from Clare Dunn who builds a performance of immense authenticity, courage and determination.

I liked it -much more than previously expected, actually.

Might anyone help me to know, what's the Irish word Aido uses at the end of the movie? Something like 'Mahha' to my ears, regarding helping people each other.

I think It was ameaningful word but couldn't find It out!!

It's a beautiful emotional movie. Well it has its corny moments but it's still great with a nice story and powerful topics. Lead performance is nice and real. Herself is a very good lovely movie that has a beautifully written story that tackles important topics.
