Maybe I'm too cynical at times but this indie, even with its strong cast and some sweet moments along the way, just came across to me as too contrived with an ending that I thought was really ridiculous. The movie seemed to be trying too hard to make the viewer feel certain emotions but it wasn't happening for me. I will say Maisie Williams was wonderful in her portrayal of young Millie, and her dog Ahab was very cute. Also, Orlando Jones and Richard Robichaux added well to the mix in supporting roles.
