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

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.

Overall, this movie was an enjoyable experience. Loved how the characters were portrayed, as well as the plot. However, the one glaring issue I have with this movie is the frankly disrespectful background music in some of the more emotionally charged scenes. The laid-back, casual, monotonous, and disturbing elevator music really took me out of the film multiple times. Both my friend and I made multiple comments on how the background music was in no way suitable for the scene. Especially in the latter half of the film, where we see our characters' struggles, the music felt like it was taking away from the emotions the movie was trying to convey through their experiences. TL;DR Good movie, awful elevator music.

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.👍

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