Had a chance to watch the great film, ‘Herself.’ This is a story about a young wife with two children who is in an abusive relationship and is determined to take her kids and get out. She has to fight not only her ex but also a housing system that provides little in terms of a clean, safe environment in which to raise her kids. The woman works herself tirelessly to try and provide a better life for her kids, working multiple jobs, picking them up from school, providing food and what shelter she can. Then she comes across an idea to build your own house with as little money as possible and decides it's what she's going to do. Realistic? Maybe not but an idea for an entertaining film? Absolutely! I was concerned that this film might get a little too ‘mushy’ or fall into the ‘Hallmark’ mode but it doesn't do that at all. There are great performances in this film and it ends perfectly. Very inspirational and a great one to watch.
