Review: I actually caught this during a midnight non-sleep attack. The film follows a middle aged mum (Anne Reid) who has to deal with her husbands death, by moving in with her evil, ungrateful children temporarily. The actual movie is very crisp. All of the shots are full, and in a slight colorless environment. Both the children (grown children) have more issues that the film needed. The story makes you hopeful for the mother when she finds what she thinks is love in a very younger man who is also doing someone close to her. Romance story with a very strange twist. I feel like the movie could have been better without the madness of the unneeded characters. The film makes you wonder if all children are that evil, unforgiving, and selfish when it comes to there parents needs. I cheered on May (Anne Reid) the entire movie, but it wasn't enough to make me love it.
