Movie Haiku:Mortimer’s wonderful as a guarded & severe woman with a young son who has to learn how to live in the world again after running for years from an abusive relationship. While the “mystery” of her predicament is a bit overplayed, Mortimer’s inner glow makes the film itself truly heart-warming.
