This movie is great. Ms. Bullock does an outstanding job. Don't believe the bad critics see it for yourself. It is the best movie that I have seen in a very long time. Beautiful told and well acted. She brings to life a flawed, broken woman trying to pick up the pieces of what's left of her life. It's a snap shot of what many of these women go through once they have served their time. Trying to figure out what normal looks like I can only imagine the challenge. AWESOME PICTURE. I highly recommend it.
