Ratings and reviews

Gran película familiar Tengo que ver la película para entenderla. Es una buena película para simplemente contarla. Como una imagen tipo hija y padre, demasiado larga para explicar realmente la situación, solo mírela y lo sabrá. No te decepcionará. Lloré a William Hale. Debo haber visto esta película mil veces. Realmente me encanta.

Just achieving is a good thing, but working hard at something from the parents to the children through siblings in the end makes everything about achievement good. Striving to be good at something can be achieved by any and everyone. Put your mind to it and just get to work in the end it pays off.

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I highly recommend watching this movie. When ever I watch it I can't stop until the end. The movie makes me feel good and I can feel all of her emotions. I just want to watch it again and again. She is so smart and she goes through a lot but still keeps her head high. I just love it.
