This is an outstanding film dealing with the difficult subject of spousal and child abuse (not for young children), as well as the difficult choices of good vs. evil, right vs. wrong that every one of us makes each day.
The beginning of the film is very "Spielbergish", plunging us into the lives of the Lloyd family, as Adam, the father, physically takes out his anger and frustration upon his pregnant wife and young daughter. Fine direction and marvelous performances by several key actors and actresses, including Chuck French, Christine Haber, Rachel Appelbaum, and Jeffrey Ryan Haber. Dramatic lighting in several key locations in the film. Very good. I was terrified, touched, saddened, happy, disgusted, regretful and inspired by this marvelous movie.
This is a must see!
