98/92 on the rating site. One critic called it a wonder. Nearly all found themselves loving the film, but needing to find some slight reservation; only one I've located went full Grinch. Has the marks of many films that might be thought…

I thought the acting was terrific and I believe Grace is on her way to begin healing. My only objection is the premise that a caregiver at a home for at risk teens is just as damaged as the young people in her care. I believe as a…

A touching, tender film that handles the subject of abuse and trauma with such care. It's hands down the best performance of Brie Larson's career and shows what promise Kaitlyn Dever had far before Booksmart.

Filmed with a verité candour reminiscent of Von Trier’s Dogma 95 and featuring an unpretentious script which always seems spontaneous, Cretton avoids the emotional bombast and touchy-feely moments one usually associates with “Kids at Risk”…

I LOVED this movie. I cried a few times watching it, so heartbreaking and heartwarming all in one.

Destin Daniel Cretton extended his original short (which is included in Special Features) into this full length feature about troubled & abused young adults living in a group home where they receive psychological counselling for up to a…

Very good movie. Passionate, violent and very sad. So many of our children need help and support even after the age of 18. Our system is seriously lacking when it is assumed that a young person can live in a controlled environment until…

This is my kind of movie; the best I've seen in quite some time. The story was wonderful, filled with heartache and hope. The characters were wonderfully drawn and developed nicely. The setting was perfectly imagined. The plot had some…

There was so much profanity in the first 15-20 minutes of the movie that I turned it off and returned it to the library. The story probably would have been good enough without adding the profanity, I will never know. I would not recommend…

The lives of "neglected" or "abused" youth and the daytime workers, all with personal problems, interact at a temporary residence. This film proves that great stories can be told without a huge budget.

Falls into the usual Sundance type of film. Keep your eye on 17 year old Katlin Dever as the redeeming feature. You may also recognize her from appearing on "Justified" and being Tim Allen's youngest daughter on "Last Man Standing".

Very accurate portrayal of working in a group home.

Wow, what a surprise this was. At no time did you have to suspend disbelief to keep yourself identifying with and rooting for the characters. Larson and Gallagher are naturals and bring you into the story at the get go. Highly…

Didn't expect much from this movie with no big names but was surprised and pleased with this touching, well acted film. No violence or steamy sex scenes so movie is suitable for everyone. One of the very few you will remember a few days…

Intense !! ... often disconcerting, but also hope-filled. (3-26-14: 6 ; 3-28: 11)

This film has been very highly rated by the critics. Acting is good and the story well told. My problem is it is too much like a docu-drama. I.e. very lacking in entertainment value. It should still be a good watch by serious…
