First off, the trailer does not do this film justice.
At first I did not want to see this film. I thought it was about a mom helping her kids out, but it is so much more than that.
Henry (Lieberher) is a genius. He controls the finances, can create magnificent creations, and can research a topic like nobody's business, but unfortunately a family crisis puts him in charge of giving directions to his mother in order to save his school crush from an abusive step-father.
Now, I completely understand as to why the trailer left out the most important part of the film (as I am doing now) because otherwise the film is not as emotionally profound as it is. But due to this important fact, it presents themes and morals that made me cry and think philosophically about life.
I highly recommend this film for any mother or child that is close to a parent. It'll make you appreciate them more.
