I absolutely loved this movie!!! Each of the actors were superb, but the standout actor to me was Aunjanue Ellis as Mattie Moss Clark who deserves an OSCAR!!! She was magnificent. The casting was excellent and the acting blew me away. I think that anyone (and I mean anyone) can relate to the trials and tribulations each family member went through individually and maybe collectively. I've seen the movie several times and highly recommend it.
