i go home and really appreciate the time i could spend with my young son after watch this . we play in the garden for at least an hour long and everything he do be so much more vivid than if i have not watch this film . many people have mention melodrama in their comment but usually with a sneer . melodrama be not necessary a bad thing and it have a place if use well . this be a film about grief direct in the same manner a bridget jones . people who enjoy bridget jones and love actually etc will find an emotional wrench with the mother strength and weakness and a i do . a mike leigh type director would have make a very different film but that movie would have be unrelenting and harrowing by be much close to the real life experience of people suffer loss . i believe the filmmaker heart be in the right place and be not purposefully manipulate her audience . it must have take much persistence and a strong belief to get this movie make and i imaging that it have a bumpy ride to get green lit . i be glad they succeed .
