An average movie

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since the ratings were pretty good, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, it turned out to be some kind of really f*ckep-up and mean-spirited version of 'Kramer vs Kramer' told from the point of view of the child. Basically, it was so sad and depressing, the whole thing was almost unbearable to watch. I mean, first, you had the mother who was a total disaster. I don't want to blame Julianne Moore as she gave as usual a solid performance but this character was awful with not one single redeeming feature. Concerning the father, he was slightly better but only slightly better as he turned out to be a major dick as well. Eventually, both of them just kept dumping their daughter whenever they felt like it and, to make things worse, this sweet little girl was just so cute, it was just awful to behold. Still, even though this story was told from this little girl's point of view, you never really get the chance to know her and you are only allowed to feel sorry for her. To conclude, it wasn't bad, it was actually well made with some decent performances but this story was just so mean and filled up with some of the most unlikeable characters I have seen for a very long time and, as a result, I really had a hard time to connect with the damned thing. At least, if you think you are a shitty parent, this movie will show you that it could be 10 times worse.
