Opioid addiction. Incest. Fetishizing a deaf girl. What?! The story is interesting but the execution was poor. Some might find the narration necessary so we can know the main character but all of her lines were so hokey, I'd almost bet the movie would have been better without any narration since only one or two lines actually added to the story. The actor who played the dad was horribly cast, his acting was on par with a Lifetime movie but not meant to be played opposite a powerhouse like Edie Falco! Falco is great in this, as she is in most things. Her ability to say so much without speaking is amazing. I think the main girl could have been cast better as well. All in all it wasn't the same-old same-old background movie I was expecting it to be. I actually sat and watched the whole thing. I love that David Gallagher was in it...if only for a few brief appearances! The rotary pay phone still has me laughing though... lol.
