     This movie has hard hitting messages.  Many people have secret hurts that they can't or don't know how to deal with.  The script is good, the acting is good but slightly predictable at times.  People need each other and during this time of the coronavirus helping other people to not get the virus is essential.  Social distancing, wearing masks, buying only what you need and not hoarding, hand washing and wiping things down plus following the opening guidelines of state governors.  4* (I liked this movie)
