I can handle the truth. This is hardly going to be a review, because I don't think that I could ever review a film so deeply intertwined with my own life, so personal that it would be impossible to compare it to any other film.
The behavioral problems, the treatment facilities, the absence of a father, the undying love of a mother; it's all a bit too intimate for me to even attempt to look at from an objective standpoint not that objectivity is ever something to be associated with cinema, haha.
So here's my warning: what you're about to read is going to be more of a diary entry than a review, and if I'm going to be honest, it's because I need it. The most tender and loving portrait of people who are just like the people you know. A real confirmation of the fundamental goodness in the world rivalled by the darkness that closes in and consumes our lives, our relationships, our souls I have no words. I am left exposed to something internally I was never aware of.
