There are times when a movie can be like a warm hug and in this indie gem, Bree Larson's warm performance reminds us of that compellingly. A film about children called upon to care for other children, it lovingly and honestly tackles the issue of foster care.

Synopsis

Grace, a compassionate young supervisor at a foster care facility, helps at-risk teens. But when a new charge dredges up memories of her own troubled past, Grace’s tough exterior begins eroding.
