10/10
a heartbreaking and wonderful film

This is a beautifully told story. Like one of the posters stated, it seems crazy to reiterate what everyone else has said.

This film appealed to me because it concerns the protests that went on in my college days. For me, it's a story about how the choices one makes can change your life, haunt you forever, and affect those you love. The best scene in the movie, as far as I'm concerned, was between Christine Lahti and Steven Hill, who plays her father. Steven Hill has always been a favorite of mine, and in this film, he is magnificent as he comes face to face with a daughter he hasn't seen in years - and to boot, the last time she saw him, she insulted him. The scene is powerful, but what happens when Lahti leaves the restaurant is unexpected and will break your heart. It's unforgettable.

There aren't any easy answers in life, and this movie won't leave you with an easy feeling. But you'll be glad you saw it.
