Movie Haiku:Charming fairy tale about an abused woman (Russell) struggling to find the inner courage to build a new life for herself. Told completely from Jenna’s POV, none of the male characters amount to much but the camaraderie between working women on the job is beautifully rendered. Monster-husband well-played by Sisto.
