this film was very difficult to watch as someone who has seen the other side of a situation like this but it was made very well and brought life to the story in a real and emphatic way. the play intertwined with the real life stories of both lorraine and andrea created a full picture of generational effects and showed this story in both a specific and very timeless way.
