Renee
has always loved fairy tales and she has a very colorful imagination. When she was a child, she had a lot of
nightmares and her mother encouraged her to use her imagination
differently. Create butterflies
and growing grass instead of scary things. Renee had two good friends in high school and they shut out
the world together. They went to a
party and Renee didn’t want to leave but they did. What happened later changed her life and she fell into addictions. Drugs, alcohol, depression and self-injury. Renee calls her friends for help and they introduce her to
someone who can help. He is
another person with the same battles but one who has conquered the darker
side. She gets clean for five days
with their help and then she goes into a rehab program for six months.
Renee
has bipolar disorder and prescribed medication did help her with coping until she went off the
rails. This is a good story and
I’m surprised about the low reviews.
You can see and feel Renee’s pain plus that of her parents and friends. 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
