Everyone is too tolerant of this kind of sympathetic film

Hollywood professionals probably paid tribute to this film from the subject matter, as well as the reputation and acting skills of the Oscar-winning actress, but as an audience, the film’s narrative is bland and the dramatic conflict is quite cliché. Probably because the family relationship is relatively weak in American culture, I didn't see how deeply the family loved the protagonist, and I felt that they were just doing their duty. This film can only be regarded as a kind of propaganda film that "arouses the society's attention to a certain disadvantaged group". Compared with similar films like "Rain Man" and "Call Me No. 1" before, it is too bad.
