This movie has me in tears throughout; it portrays the mixed
feelings, emotions and total confusion of an alcoholic wife and
mother so perfectly - and I should recognize them, as an alcoholic
of 10 years myself. Especially moving is the wonderful
performance of the elder child "Jessie" - an amazing achievement
in one so young. It certainly strengthened my resolve never to go
down that path again. I recommend it to all families of alcoholics
for an insight into our way of thinking - our shame, our inability to
control our own addiction, and the possibilty of real recovery.
Thank you, all involved.
