Early reviewers state, “A gut-wrenching story told through incredible photography and direction….there wasn’t a trivial moment.” -ABC7-TV Los Angeles.“ A throwback to when movies made you feel something emotionally…Christensen gives a performance so real, so raw, you'll want to reach up and give her a hug after you wipe away your tears." -KTLA-TV Los Angeles.
