A woman dealing with the loss of her husband, the struggle of parenthood and finding work in a new state finds solace in her relationship with an 8 year old physically disabled girl named Justine who she takes care of.
Kind of. The main character, the mother Lisa (who is on foot), is followed for one scene (from home to a small restaurant) towards the end by her father-in-law, Don (who is in a car).
The young girl has surgeries often but there is surgery and it comes with complications leading to another surgery. Nothing graphic and she ends up well!
The father of two young children is killed over seas as a marine (we need see the father, John, and there is no death scene). We experience grief in the film.
Yes, the young girls mother instructs the Caregiver Lisa instructions to turn the alarm on when they leave because “an African American has been driving a beat up car around the neighborhood” Also, hard R is said by a little white girl three times. She repeats after her father but the father never says it on screen. As well as, the father implying “mixed race kids” and a “Mexican Teacher” are really “diversify” his house.
