I have watched it 4 times. I'm not a mother but this movie makes me appreciate my parents and siblings. If you have a fixed hate on every small budgeted indie movie or to say that you are so exclusively hard to please, well i've encountered so many 'reverse hipsters' like you so you're not that special actually.

boring - not at all...watching a mother fight for her children and then watching those children trying to survive on their own was scarily watchable

predictable - when has a movie ever covered what happens in this movie? it's the opposite of predictable

unrealistic - poor people struggle every day, that is very much a reality

stupid - giving no examples for you critique is what is stupid

dopey - you're already said you thought the movie was stupid

brainless - another synonym, you are repeating yourself

dumb - you are grasping at straws and failing to make a point all at the same time

laughable - pretty callow thing to say about the struggles of children and a single mother

aaaaaaaand very slow - sounds like you are as well, but I'm not going to start a thread about it
