I was able to stream the movie Herself this morning courtesy of Alamo Theaters andin exchange for a review.
Greetings, I was BLESSED this morning as David was home for New Years Eve which never happens. I got up to come to the computer to work. David heard me start a movie. Before I could begin watching HERSELF David said hold on let my get my chair and I will watch the movie with you. I was so excited because he isn’t usually here. We sat down and there was a knock at the door with our contractor to finish our floors. While they worked David and I begin the movie. Before I knew it 2 hours had passed and the STRESS I was under melted away. Both David and I enjoyed Herself and was glad Charlie wasn’t up to watch the movie with us because of the abuse by the dad to the mom. But I would have been able to discuss Domestic Abuse to Charlie and why have a escape plan in vital in those situations. I love how the lady was able to survive all the obstacles thrown at her and to make a better life for herself and finding friends that became family. I can tell you everyone should take the time to watch Herself but this is a Feel Good, Do it forward show for the New Year. If you have been struggling you will learn so much through the film. I loved all the actors in the film and could understand and relate to the little girl in so many ways as I faced this with my nephew when his parents divorced. |

She finds a architect who provides her with plans and is offered land by Peggy (Harriet Walter), a woman she cleans for. Aido (Conleth Hill), a building contractor, appears willing to help, too.
