Was amazing doc and time went so quickly watching. Triumph of the human spirit!!

This movie was really quite well done BUT I think it would have been even better if there were many more flashback scenes profiling the bad times in the family's life before divorce rather than just the good ones (mainly revolving around an exotic trip they all went on when the son was much younger). This would show the toll the divorce took on the son's life in stages so the viewer would have a better understanding of how he ended up where he is in life. I think this movie really showed the public just how devastating a divorce can be on the kids involved, where some may feel the divorce is a good thing overall and can move forward from it, while others just can't accept it at all and are stuck in "the good times" every minute of their lives refusing to accept their parents are not together anymore. The movie also showed how terrible it can be when one or both parents are emotionally absent from their child's life.

Nicole Kidman is a very good actress but definitely NOT in this movie, most likely due to horrible direction. She plays Lucille in such a robotic, unemotional manner that halfway into the movie you will start to be repulsed by her portrayal. Even when Lucille was not "on" or in character, such as when she was having a serious interview (highly recommend you watch the Barbara Walters interview with her 2nd husband sitting beside her), she was emotive, expressive when discussing issues and her life....nothing at all like how Kidman has done the part here as a living statue!!!
