I balled my eyes out after this film. His mother is the epitome of mine. Once well off and only slightly crazy to off the wall - dishes in the yard, house forclosed on, dad left, sister left.... to all those who gave this rottem tomatoes you really miss the gem in this. But then again most people arent PRIVILEGED enough to have an eccentric crazed mother, or felt the pain of watching from helpless adolescents as your family life falls apart. So for this I give 5 ☆'s

Did not particularly enjoy this one. was interesting at times I guess.

This is the story of my life and I absolutely loved it! Right down to the abandoning with a weird stranger the hoarding, the loss of innocence! Exceptional movie!!! excellent book!
