camjam1987 The power and bond of family can be unbreakable! Enjoyed the heart and emotion of this movie. Excellent acting by Ella Anderson as young Jeanette.

jdellios We waited two hours for something to actually happen in this movie... The father started out as a crap dad and was consistently a crap dad until the end. Nothing really happened. The acting was great but the story just didn't go anywhere.

Elizabeth L Based off of Jeannette Walls' memoir, the movie chronicles her life from childhood to adulthood. The turmoils and tribulations of growing up with free-spirited parents that also have their own demons. This is a well acted movie... Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, Naomi Watts, and Ella Anderson (who plays a young Jeannette) were brilliant. The pace of the movie is relatively even toned. I think the frustration that viewers may encounter has more to do with the context and material of the movie vs. the pace. Speaking of the content and material of the movie, there are times you are bound to feel aggravated, anger and heart-broken due to the circumstances that the children endure. All in all, it's a great movie that will break your heart at times, but that reflects life.

rabiadelpueblo Based on a true story. So how can it be bad, right?
