After reading both Cea Sunrise Person's memoirs (North of Normal and Nearly Normal) published by Harper Collins, I was excited to see the film adaptation.
The movie focussed on the unconventional childhood of a young girl (played exceptionally by two actresses) raised by a family who lived on the fringes of society and often in the wilderness or squats.
With a particular emphasis on the relationship between Cea and her mother Michelle, one can't help but feel the heartbreak of witnessing the role reversal of mother and daughter.
Cea's real life resiliance was played beautifully by Amanda Fix. All the performances in the movie were outstanding and especially that of Robert Carlyle who played Cea's idealistic yet selfish grandfather Papa Dick.
