FLY AWAY

April 16th, 2011

FLY AWAY- 2011. Directed by Janet Grillo. Synopsis by Netflix. “Single mother Jeanne (Beth Broderick) is dedicated to enriching the life of her teenage daughter, Mandy (Ashley Rickards), who has severe autism, although as Mandy matures, the challenges of her condition grow too extreme for Jeanne to be able to manage on her own. When Mandy’s dad suggests that she attend a residential school, Jeanne resists, even though her stressful home life impinges on work and a romance with a new neighbor (Greg Germann).” Good review in NY Times on 4/15/11. TRDB.

5/8/11- An interesting drama covering a difficult situation with care and realism. I liked it. TRDB. Netflix.
