Why I Saw It: Not surprisingly, Brie Larson was incredible in this. She absolutely carries the movie. As much as I liked her previously, I hadn't seen her in anything where she was more than just likable. This is the first great performance. I all-around enjoyed the movie though. The other actors were quite good. The group home setting was very interesting, including the way the employees interact with the kids. The story is bookended well. It looks good, despite a limited budget. Larson is the takeaway from this though.
Why I Wish I Hadn't: It dips into "After school special" territory just a little bit. They make it work though.
Verdict (?): Weakly Recommend
