There's not a single false note in this brilliantly edited film that portrays (with warmth but not phony sentimentality) the stresses associated with being a single parent trying to balance the demands of motherhood while earning a decent living. The acting is top caliber, the direction and cinematography similarly so, and the pulsating musical score reinforces and heightens the dramatic tension and manages to create quite a bit of suspense in what is essentially a family drama. This is film-making where everyone involved is operating at the height of his or her craft. Very gratifying! Check it out.
