What a beautiful, painful, and heart wrenching story.Wasn’t a big fan of the way the character Bobby was portrayed—felt like he was a little overtly sensitive and dramatic at times, and hypercritical of his family, but I guess some emotions had to be rushed to fit the hour and a half time frame of the movie. Sigourney Weaver does a phenomenal job as the righteously religious mother turned ally that’ll bring tears to your eyes at almost every scene during the films resolution.
