I watched this movie for the first time when I was married. I was mad at my (then) husband for a week after watching this, I didn't understand why then, but after finally realizing he was emotionally abusing me and leaving him, it made more sense... Great film. I should watch it again now that I've also made my escape. To anyone out here that isn't sure why you were so impacted when watching this film, perhaps take a moment to look at your relationships without those rose-colored glasses. Life gets better when you aren't being held back by the ones who are supposed to lift you up. I believe in you.
