Don't believe the bad hype

There are certain beliefs people have. One that unless you are poor you don't know struggle. Second that they have the right to degrade someone's art when they don't know what went into it.
This movie is honest, and true to the book in many areas. It tells a woman's story and begs us all to let go of the life that has made us driven.Whether it be a conversation about not worrying about our weight, or an understanding that at some point we all have to face our demons and make a choice. Believe, or succumb. One of the reasons this book was successful, was that each of us-I personally believe-was faced at one point with a decision to live the best life we knew how. And however much her religious views may differ from mine, I do believe in the search. The bigger testimony is that each character in this movie tried to live outside of their fear. Ms. Roberts acting was perfect for this rendition, as was Viola Davis. Plan B continues to show that as a production studio it is producing smart movies.
Go see it, and let go.
