Man, this is a rough movie to watch but I feel like everyone in America today does need to see this film. It’s a pretty big eye opener on how we live in luxury compared to others and that we do need to be thankful for what we have here, right now. This movie hurts the depths of your soul. It just shows how hard it can be to a child in an abusive and large family. There’s so much to unpack with this movie, it really is a modern cinematic masterpiece. The acting is phenomenal and very realistic. The music is subtle yet palpable, it really pulls the film together. There are some great cinematic shots done well, the camerawork does well to portray where and how they are living. I also do think it shows a great story and message of not having kids if you are not ready for them financially, emotionally, or mentally. My one thing from this movie I wish they did differently was show us what the kid did to the guy who married his sister (also wished he didn’t survive, is that fucked up?) he never smiled until the last frame of the movie, cinematic excellence. I will be watching again.
