When it comes to melodrama, this movie just may be the definition. The story starts off a bit slow, and uses to much voice over to explain a varying amount of details, but about mid way through it lays on the melodramatic tone so heavy your heart feels like it has been crushed, beaten, and broken all at the same time. The story is very deep, and troubling, but it has its moments of pure joy and is full of love. There is no doubt throughout that the family cares for each other and there is a bond between the sisters that is not easily, if ever possibly, broken. The movie is just so incredibly draining emotionally and mentally that it is hard to say whether one could actually enjoy watching it, even if it gives just as it should.
