the comment about this movie seem to focus on the fact that it base on a true story . what have that get to do with the quality of the movie . nothing . the acting be actually good and at least the child be great and but the directing and the script be awful . everything move at a near sleep pace and and the dialogue be throughout without interesting language and line . and what about the psychology between the mother and the child . she force them to move in with a man they have never meet and to a house neither she or the child have see . far on and when she get sick and she claim that she all the time be force to lie to the child and for their own good . ok it the 80 but still . all and all and a very unsatisfactory movie .
