The film ended with a comedy. Jaden left her abusive father and Grace regained a peaceful and happy life. The black boy Marcus left the shelter and found a job and love. Everyone was happy. The whole film is flat but not lacking in waves, and the performance of the actors is also very natural and emotional. The film also won the National Critics Association Award for Top Ten Independent Films. After watching the film, I have a deeper understanding of the following points: 1. You must devote all your heart and enthusiasm to life, work, and love, so that they will return to you after the accumulation of qualitative changes; 2. Don’t be pretentious and always think from "I think", think more from the other side’s perspective, to be considerate and understand each other; for the children in the film who were abandoned by their parents and suffered from childhood misfortune, only understand them more from their perspective. Their behavior can finally be accepted by them; 3. Most rebellious children have an unfortunate family, and most rebellious children have talents that make them capable.
