The story of a mother loving her addict child. Happens so often. This movie hits close to home. It's truly hard getting away from addiction when you do especially when there are strings attached.

This is going to be really hard to watch. So many people have dealt with this. So many people have died...Tremendously sad part of life now.

This is so beautifully written, acted and filmed--fantastic movie--I see a lot of comments about it being a downer, obviously written by people who like to watch visual fastfood--for the record, it's a beautiful film!
