Fine, humanistic drama about the tortured life of a 35 year old woman who was warped by living with an abusive father and now drinks, smokes and seeks out abusive men. The film is about her gradual emersion, helped by the mother she despised for not standing up to her husband.
Although the scenario sounds schmaltzy it's done so well here that we accept it. The film is helped enormously by the actor playing the mother...her calm presence and steadfastness work as the anchor holding it firmly in reality.
Sweetly touching story of redemption and rebirth.
