Ratings and reviews

Anyone that gives this movie four or more stars is trolling. This movie was really horrible. Highlights of this miserable movie include infanticide, Oprah Winfrey urinating in dirt and disturbing nakedness that will creep out most people. Spend money at your own peril.

Honestly the first time I saw it...I was maybe too young to see it. It was somewhat disturbing but I like the story. I prefer to never see Oprah squat and pee..that was unnecessary. It is a good story, I suggest reading the book prior to watching.

Very sad movie there are parts in the movie that I didn't like but there was more parts well worth watching so I definitely have to give this movie a 2 thumbs up with a 5 star rating. It was well worth watching .all the actresses played in this movie did a awsome job .I love this movie
