I agree with you QuieroShane 100%! I caught the last 40 minutes, or so, of this film. I was channel surfing and I could see that this looked like the end of a good film (I usually only watch movies from beginning to end – If I miss the first 15 minutes, I wait and see it from the beginning another time). But this looked so fascinating that I couldn’t stop watching it. I was so moved by Mona’s epiphany and the way she responded to her seemingly simple question. She was hyperventilating, soul searching, and reviewing her entire life up until that point, while she kept sneaking looks at adorable little Vanessa. I was spellbound! [My complements to Minnie Driver] I knew then that I would have to watch this to the end, and then watch it from the beginning at another time.
When I finally saw it from the beginning, I was so disappointed with Minnie Driver’s character (The way she treated people in general, Ruby [All that Ruby did for her], her parents, and little Vanessa), that (even knowing the ending) it ruined it for me. However, I was still moved by the last 20 minutes (When Mona picked up cute little Vanessa and Vanessa said “I don’t think that was the right answer.” how could one not be moved?).
