Iam not much into indie films. But I liked this one.
Both the lead actresses have performed quite well in their roles.
Melissa Leo is convincing in her portrayal of a struggling working class mother.
It does have a few light moments. For example, some of the cop scenes are quite funny.
An example of subtle humor, I guess.
Scenes like these provide small but good interludes to an otherwise dark movie.
It also has a bit of spirituality thrown in. The characters do good inspite of being in terrible adversity.
