Movie Haiku:Leigh (Bell) is just about to turn 30 & nothing has turned out as planned. So she returns home & promptly disrupts the stability of those she was once so eager to flee. Surprisingly insightful drama anchored by terrific central performance. Who knew Bell could go this deep? Not yet seen by Rich.
