I saw the movie and definitely agree with Chris Knight. The movie is very well done and acted. Although I’m not a fan of Woody Harrelson, he is an authentic Rex Walls. The child actors that play the siblings at different ages are very good, especially the young Jeannettes. There are scenes of the actual family at the end of the movie. It is an emotional journey that will linger with me for a very long time.
