Pointless

The movie starts and basically ends at the same place, there really is no point in watching it aside from the fact of getting a look into a early childs life in a childrens home, the worst part is wasting the time to watch something that has no meaning or benifit to your life by any means, it ended so abruptly that made me feel frustrated that i wasted the time to watch it.
