I thought it was a great movie. A little slow moving but, still holds your interest to see it all the way through. It gave me a better understanding of what alcoholics go through. Trauma. It had a wonderful ending and was very happy that she got her final help. My ex-husband was a male version of her, got to see why he had so many issues and could not give up the alcohol, in his case it was beer. He had major childhood trauma abuse that went on for years and never processed it with any AA group etc. I begged him to go to a group or get help, absolutely refused, a very, high functioning alcoholic. Nobody would have ever known he was an alcoholic because he was another person in public (everyone's best friend) and someone else in private. It wasn't easy living with someone who has anger, depression and constant needy victim mood swings. If you have zero vices, it can be very lonely living with an alcoholic, because they consume so much of everything in your life and you are constantly trying to make their life nice or make they happy. My findings were, if the person has a big empty hole inside of them and they are not happy, You CANNOT make them happy. They can only make themselves happy. We women try to nurture our person all the way from high school, to early 40's and one day you wake up and say, "This life is enough". If he won't fix his problems, then I am going to go and save myself and enjoy the rest of my life by myself. End of Story.
