I don't really want to get in to what this documentary is about because I think it's best to not know. You need to watch this. If you don't cry maybe you should re-think if you are actually human at all...
I've watched some upsetting movies in my time but this one is now right near the top as the most emotional, disturbing and unbelievably true story I've heard.
And it is true. 100%. I'm not sure where you are reading this post from but as a Canadian and having this movie point a finger directly at my country was a surprise...but then, so are all the grey lines of any government. You may think your country is better but then I hear of stories like this, stories that everyone should know, and you know that a lot of work still needs to happen.
I could say more but I implore you to watch this film.
It's not a happy tale. There is happiness, in the end. It's not a feel good film. Once you think the worst has happened and that life is cruel...the worst really does happen.
This will change you.
See it.

Man I love a good 80's flick! They just don't make coming of age movies like this anymore. Epicness. So epic that you will immediately download Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes as soon as the credits roll.
A guy who doesn't know where his life is headed after graduation falls in love with a girl who has her entire future planned and organized...until him.
I'm not entirely sure why but John Cusack holds a very special place in my heart. He always has, I've always liked him. This movie, ohhh boy, if I were older when this movie came out you best believe I'd have his face all over my bedroom walls. Swoon. In all honesty, his acting in this is a reminder as to why he's still around after 20 years. I loved him. I missed him when he wasn't in a scene. He is this film. Loved it.
The story itself is pretty standard but there were some magical moments. Moments that made me grin like an idiot or laugh out loud. Amazing moments that this film builds itself on. Sure, the daughter father thing only gets to touch the surface of that side of the story but they showed just enough to allow for understanding.
I'm putting this film up there with Reality Bites, Empire Records and Ferris Bueller. It has its own amazingness to it that I think it should stick around as a staple coming of age story.
...sweet.
