Randy Gilmore

This is an excellent movie about mothers' love, about addiction in the heartland - who starts the dwindling spiral, and how it escalates - about the fallout in families, about people recognizing and taking responsibility for their own actions in the equation. The only false note was the fact that after a night of intense emotion driving around town, Julia Robert's makeup was still in tact, her face perfect.

Women's narrative has been highjacked by men since Biblical times. It shouldn't take a post apocalyptic setting to illustrate that fact, but the movie does so with simple, heart wrenching poignancy.

Wonderful movie and very informative.
