5/5 --- Superb movie about life and the people in it...and how we can learn from others to help ourselves. There are several short deep moments, these teared me up...very powerful and impactful, especially the entire Octopus and Shark story, wow heartbreaking.

I more than empathize with this story/movie and its characters, in fact I sometimes feel like Grace, not yet close enough and yet on teetering on the edge of my present and past, and not so sure of the future. One never knows what deep dark past someone has...and people are so good at hiding things, even from themselves (ourselves).

"Grace, it's not your job to interpret tears.".

A small cast with very well-developed characters, simple plots that melded well together into a must-see movie.
