Movie Haiku:Despite her hard upbringing with an alcoholic mother (Harper) & the crippling injury of her boyfriend (Dillon), Melissa remains upbeat & determined to live a full life. But bit-by-bit she is worn down by the petty tyranny of a life so financially strained that even a rainstorm has dire consequences. Another terrific performance by Watts anchors this tough, insightful journey.
