Histoire:
Une fille (AnnaSophia Robb) vit une
relation fusionnelle avec son oncle (Nick Stahl) qui s'est occupé d'elle
lorsque sa mère (Theron) l'a abandonnée.
Story:
Tara is a 12-year-old girl whose mother, Jolene, can’t seem to get her
life together, let alone build a stable environment for her daughter.
When her boyfriend is arrested for growing marijuana, Jolene takes off,
and Tara is put in foster care. Jolene’s brother, James, isn’t much
better off than Jolene, but he feels a responsibility toward Tara, and
when he decides to break her out of her foster home, they set off on a
journey with no set destination except to find a better life.
The road leads them to James and Jolene’s father’s farm and the violent
childhood that James has never confronted. Tara learns of Jolene’s past
and the reasons why she has lived such a scattered, scarred life, and
James is forced finally to stand up to a cold, scary father while there
is still a chance to save Tara from a gloomy future.
William Maher directs his first film with confidence and a keen
understanding of the details that both complicate and strengthen
familial bonds: the shared history that links a family even while
tearing it apart. Through the accomplished performances of the cast, we
watch the characters ultimately help one another to find something that
eludes many broken families: hope.
