I'm gonna start by saying it is a slow moving movie, but if you stick with it you won't be disappointed. Yes the actors were a bit stiff/awkward but I felt that that was purposely done, you have to remember this is based in the 70's and it's about a new single mom growing into someone that doesn't need to stand there and look pretty not saying anything out of line. IDK that's what I got out of it and the only reason I'm giving 4/5 stars was because it was slow at first..
