“Katie Holmes directional debut film. Adapted from the novel of the same name. I really had not planned to love it. I thought it was another passing-by film in my life. Surprisingly, it was so much better. I simply loved it. Because anything about life struggle really intrigues me. Especially the struggles of the aging people, women, children themes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis was about a mother and her teenage daughter. After escaping from her latest boyfriend, they decide to hit the road, travelling randomly. That reminded me u0026#39;The Glass Castleu0026#39;. Their road adventure came to an end at some point, then set a tone similar to u0026#39;Safe Havenu0026#39;. So they end up in a diner. Their lives begin to take shape around it. With so many turns, where the remaining narration heads were told by deciding their fate.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor some people, it was a drama where nothing much happens. But I felt every moment. The life does not just change like turning a coin to the other side. Thatu0026#39;s the detail, especially the relationship with others were nicely built. The whole story was narrated from the kidu0026#39;s perspective, like how she saw her mother struggling with boyfriends, alcohol and finally finding their own place to call home to lead a normal life.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt was almost a sentimental film. They should have created a more melodic track or borrowed one from the outside for it, because it deserves one. That would have set a tone for the film. It was just like another u0026#39;Infinitely Polar Bearu0026#39;, except it was mother-daughter thing. I think families would love such film. This really says that Katie Holmes has potential to be a great director. She also jointly produced it. Believe me. It is a totally underrated film. All I say is, itu0026#39;s a must see. If you listen to the haters, then youu0026#39;re missing out something wonderful!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e8.5/10”
