Audience Reviews

ProudPittieMom 6/10 Dec 03, 2019
Very good cast, cinematography and delicate handling of several sensitive subjects. I would have given this a 7/10, but they really could have added more educational information about the cycle of domestic abuse during the long, silent scenes or scenes with repetitious dialog. Nevertheless, this is a good introduction to what it's like to live trapped in an abusive relationship.
