Given the mixed reviews, I opted to watch this film to determine if it was worth it for myself. In short, it was a decent film (not outstanding but not tough to get through) however, it was slow moving. The complexity was lacking but then again, this was intentional to show the true nature of the life of poverty being portrayed. The chemistry between Naomi and Matt was pretty good and the story completely believable. You can't helped but be depressed the entire movie given there is really nothing positive that happens. If you are looking for a stimulating and dynamic movie to watch, do not opt for this one as you will become frustrated. This is a movie for someone interested in observing the reality of poverty of a young couple and the struggles they go through. Take it for what it is!
