Parents and society can have a huge and negative impact on the direction young people feel they should go. Even if your intentions are good it can turn out bad. I think this movie pointed that out. It felt like it was moving at a snail's pace, but that may have been due to my wanting the charade to end so people could start on the path meant for them. Williams as always was stellar. Baker broke my heart. They make you want to tell them, 'Everything is going to be okay." Definitely worth your time.
