Wow - I think powerful is too tame of a word for this movie. I just managed to see it last weekend on DVD & watched it while DD was busy hosting a sleepover with her friends.

It really blew me away with the real-life depiction of what living with addiction is like, all the subtleties of abuse & how it trickles like water through cracks, generationally down the line. The cast was amazing.

I cannot imagine holding it together emotionally while seeing this performed on stage like a few of you mentioned. I found myself hanging on every word in every scene, because just like in real life you never knew where/when that next big surprise would come crashing down & more would be revealed.

Dandylion - I rented my DVD at a redbox, I even got online to reserve it at the kiosk closest to my house to make sure they would have it in stock when I arrived. I don't know anything about Fios, sorry!
