Perhaps it's having seen so many movies Ive become jaded and de-sensitized towards the plight of the people in the movies I see. Perhaps. I was filled with such compassion for this young woman and, several times, my heart was heavy with pain at her circumstances. That doesn't happen very often. In fact for several minutes during that movie I was an overweight, black teen-aged mother feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders. Helluva movie. People owe it to themselves to spend two hours in her shoes. Other than the Christian Jesus porn “Passion of the Christ”, I very rarely am moved by situations that main characters are placed into.
