Movie Reviews of God Bless the Child
Movie Review: An amazing story
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a tragic, yet relevant story. It is portrayed beautifully by Mare Winningham. It is very poignant in today's economy. It shows how close each of is to becoming homeless. It happened to this mother in a very short time. She had a job. She had an apartment. But she received a notice on her door saying that the building was being sold and she would need to move. She could not find a place. She went looking each evening after work, but in order to pick her daughter up in time from day-care, she would have to leave work early, go look for housing, then pick up her daughter, then walk home. It made for very long days. No car, just walking and the bus. By leaving work early, she lost her job. So the vicious cycle began.
This story has a very tragic ending and is not for the faint of heart.
I believe that every parent should view this. None of us are immune to becoming homeless. We need to change the way we see these people. It could be us one day.
