9/10
Honestly Beautiful Family That Really Love Each Other
7 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
If you're looking for a hot young adult romance, this is not your movie. If you look at this as a family drama surrounding unemployment, illness, and the heartbreak of first real love, it's really solid.

Jeffrey Donovan's portrayal of the despair of unemployment, underemployment and the damage it does to self worth and marriage, is spot on.

Watching Ann succumb to pressure from her mother to play the field is heartbreaking but I can completely understand her mother. She wants her daughter to have everything in life.

This is a tender vision of the value of really loving family and a testament to their importance.it's also a beautiful depiction of faith. Hero's portrayal of Jim is fantastic.
