I spent the movie yelling over and over again. Why is the mom making such idiotic decisions? Why is she not being a better mother? Why is no one telling the authorities or a teacher even, about what is happening. This movie makes you so mad and frustrated. But this is a common reality today. Lonely single moms rushing things with men they don't know. Many times they get wrapped up in wrongdoings, influenced by the new man and they stay with them because they just don't want to be alone. Then the kids suffer from the negative environment. This movie even shows how manipulation, threats and drug use is also used for control. This is a very realistic portrayel of something that is quite common. It may be a bit more dramatized, but I think it's a good movie for people who ignore those red flags out of loneliness and desperation.
