Don't understand the bad reviews.
I thought it was a rather good film mixing real footage of the events with the story of a family who have difficulties to make ends meet.
At times it has a kind of documentary feel due to the cinematography.
Halle Berry is very credible as this warm hearted Mum who makes everything for her and others kids and there is real chemistry between her and Daniel Craig.
All in all worth watching but too short, and ends rather abruptly which is a shame.
