That means I'm awesome! For some reason this movie scares me. Does it seem authentic or barfarific? I was afraid of the trailer... lol; March 2, 2010 at 8:49 AM

Jeff and Madeline said...: I agreed as well. It is too bad because that voice was/is so necessary to the conversation. Well, I am glad to have read it!; March 2, 2010 at 8:56 PM

Then I thought, maybe the filmmakers are trying to show that the mom's relief at being back in the USA is mirrored in the daughter's pain at the loss of her culture and language.

I'm interested to see the whole thing even though I expect it has more of those cringe-worthy moments.

And why the mom-centric title? Argh. That stuff drives my husband and me nuts.

Thanks for the link, Malinda.; March 3, 2010 at 9:09 AM
