Naked As We Came (2012)
Lovely and affecting

A quiet gem of a film--a moving, realistic, touching portrayal of a flawed family, and how they find their way back to one another in spite of their problems. Lovely message about forgiveness and acceptance--and with big unexpected dollops of humor. The acting is top-notch, particularly Lue McWilliams as a neglectful mom who finally lets herself soften and reach out to her children toward the end of her life, and Karmine Alers as her daughter Laura, filled with resentment and anger, but who lets forgiveness bring her back to her family. LeMay's direction is sure-handed and steady, letting the story unfold at its own pace and the moments of revelation be believably small, yet still beautifully affecting.
