Everyone who has ever had a superior, elitest attitude about an uneducated, impoverished welfare mother ("well, she chose that life when she dropped out of school and chose to have those kids!" - and yes, I have been guilty too) should see this movie. NOT one of the several burdens this young girl carries is her choosing - NOT ONE. Yet she struggles on, and tries to find some happiness and love her kids in an otherwise miserable life. I found the fantasy scenes distracting and frankly disconcerting, but it is hard to find significant fault with this movie.
