I like this kind of film that focuses on the status quo of life at the bottom. Emotions are delicate, but extremely restrained. In fact, there are more scenes on the children of single-parent families to describe the harm caused by poverty, and win more sympathy from the audience. Thinking is left to the audience, and as the movie itself says, give each individual enough respect. The scene where the single mother went to the church to pick up food was so hungry that she shivered, and the scene where she digged the canned food directly with her hands was also very sad. The reality seemed to be happening around her. Some people say that it is self-defeating for single mothers to become prostitutes to make money. I don't agree. Difficult life wears down the body and will day after day, and it is really possible that because I want to buy a new pair of shoes for my daughter, so that she will be less bullied at school, I will eventually be defeated and sacrifice my dignity. I think of the Sean baker with a similar theme, but the style is different. The latter may have a banter and dissolution factor because of his youth. The film should be like this, looking directly at reality, causing reflection and conveying goodwill.
