Is this a fast-paced blockbuster? No.
It's a slower slice of life depicting realities of grief, racism, medical conditions, the pressure and hope of a "normal" family and more.
We see a woman who has lost her husband (shot in the military in "friendly" fire,) who is grieving. She's closed off, has her wall up, trouble interacting with her children and FIL, and trying to figure out life. In her getting a job as a caretaker for a child with spinal bifida, we see her soften and make a human connection. I'm doing so we see the judgments on a child with a medical condition from other children, her parents who want her living in a bubble, and said parents who have a troubled marriage and allow their racism to show. Now she's working for a family who acts as if she's less than but she deeply cares for their daughter.
We see a grandfather stepping up to care for his grandkids while his DIL figured out her grief.
It's a heartwarming film that should click with empaths and those who can connect with others.
I wish there had been a bit more of an ending versus we see her sorta smile and try to start connecting with her kids again.
Nevertheless, I'm glad I watched it.
