It's the 50's - when you didn't leave

It's the 50's - when you didn't leave your drunk husband and you had more than 2 kids (10 to be exact). True retelling of a determined woman that entered contests to keep her family afloat and the bills paid. Julianne Moore and Woody Harrelson are perfectly cast - and the rest fits the bill.
Reviewed by Cat B 8 / 10

While this may not be the most technically

While this may not be the most technically perfect movie, it's empowering and enjoyable, and left my family feeling inspired and happy. It may not quite do the book justice, but it's a family-friendly feel-good movie to watch on a Saturday night.
