I read Cea Person's memoirs a while ago and was excited when I saw they were going to be made into a movie. I also had my doubts as to whether I would enjoy the movie as much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The actor that plays Michelle, the well intentioned but disastrous mother, let us see her imperfections and mistakes in such an honest way that we love her anyway. The child/teen actors playing Cea were amazing. Their relationship was a complex one and the writers, director and actors captured it all perfectly. This is one of those movies that I would watch over and over and gain different perspective on every time.
