Glad the movie was made... definitely puts the topic front and center for some folks that are in the dark.

I definitely picked up on the rationalization and founding of Alanon and that was a good thing to see put into explanation via the story line.

I was not impressed with the notion that Lois stuck by her man to the point of complete financial and emotional devastation.... obviously her choice. I appreciate that the movie is about her and her life... I hate to think that some folks will literally "romanticize" the idea that if you stay everything will work out... because sometimes it doesn't... sometimes they die.... sometimes they get well and leave.... etc.

Loved that they included the 12 steps at the end and supported the steps with footage/action.... powerful.

My 2 cents worth.
