This was an excellent movie. I think in making Tru Confessions, the film makers really captured the emotional impact one person can have on an entire community. Through out the emotional parts of the movie I cried. I know what it is like to have a family member with a "mental handicap". It can be very difficult. This movie really portrays the feelings one has. If you liked this movie, I recommend "What's Eating Gilbert Grape". It has the same impact.
