This movie felt very real and very intense when I was watching it. The mother in the story is seen to many as a scumbag mother who doesn't deserve her children. I have to disagree with this because though she is not able to give her children the proper care, she shows moments where she truly does care about them. She does go into a bar leaving her kids out alone, but it is the only way she can escape her nightmare, which is actually her reality. She is like a wasp trapped in a window. She needs someone to let her out, someone to help her, but that person isn't there. She has no money, and no one to look out for her, so she lives the poor lifestyle that she lives because there is nothing she can do. I think the purpose of this movie was to show the viewer the humane side of a mother who cannot provide care for her children.
