Princess of the Row

The only reason I gave this a 7 and not higher is forsaking the realism of the foster care system and time and care truly able to be given, as well as unreality of foster homes (Aunt Tammy should've been white, too). The system is already a mess and if the government has its way, many more if births are forced. I get it, it's for the sake of storytelling timeline, I just prefer realism on this true, urgent crisis in our Country.

Okay, all that aside, was not prepared for the very end scene. The last I knew, my son was living in San Diego homeless areas. It's turned into years and he's been a total deadbeat/absent dad to a now 15 yo daughter. A life I never saw coming. Mental health and drugs have stolen my beautiful boy, but we must always hope for each other and try do better for ourselves until our last breath....right?

The end scene....raw emotion body chills.

With a dad that suffers great mental illness as a vet, this little girl goes down a path of trying to save him but ultimately having to save herself. A straight on view of homeless and the struggle.

Wow this was a very well written story. It was thoughtful, sad and encouraging. I wish our country did more for veteran families! I'm glad Princess realized that she's a child and she should be working on her own future and living situation.

I just finished watching the movie. The acting was wonderful. This movie gripped my heart from the beginning to end. It was well written and directed. Watch this movie.

What a beautifully told story about a broken father and the love his daughter has for him. This movie was a bit slow at times but it was well acted and enjoyable. I am already a fan of Mr. Gathegi's work so I had to check this one out. He didn't speak much in this but his acting was truly believable. When he kicks the trash can and say's "You ain't foolin no body!" hilarious! Sometimes it is hard to see how some ppl live on the streets, this was a hard look of one instance. Surprised this was not based on a true story. If you like emotional movie than this is one for you.
