I just saw this movie and it really touched me. The story is actually based on the director's childhood and what it was like to grow up in a household with a mom all the kids called crazy. The portrayal of mental illness was very realistic and very tastefully done. The actors were amazing. Especially Devon Gearhart (the boy). His eyes were so full of emotion and he handles the sensitive scenes like a pro. And Joe Pantoliano was great in this as well. You really get to see a side of him very rarely portrayed in his other work. Just a beautiful movie with a really great personal message. The whole theater applauded as the credits rolled!
