This movie was a bit hard to watch at times, but I did enjoy it overall. There is no narration or explanations during the film (something I am used to in the docs I usually watch), nor do any of the people in the film ever speak to the camera. It really is just a fly on the wall experience. I did not mind that, but if you like some narration with your documentaries you might want to avoid this one. Sometimes very sad to see the raw emotion. It was also a bit hard to watch some of the holding sessions. While working for a home health company we were taught some times that you DO use a holding technique to keep a client from hurting themselves or others, but it was interesting to see that in this film it was used for several different reasons. It seems that during this point in time it was a somewhat new thought that if you held someone it would force them to let out their real emotions which, I am assuming, they thought would be cathartic and actually help the kids. In fact I think it just caused more frustration and anxiety. Its sad, but at the same time you can tell that these workers cared about the kids and thought this was actually helping them. I also found it a bit sad that some of these children who were living in this home during that time would today be able to live at home with the help of modern medicine. Nice to see what progress we have made in regards to mental health issues. This truly is a documentary that will leave you with a glimpse of what life was like during the time. It will not leave you with closure or any real "feel-good" feelings about their situation. Just be prepared for that. If you are not you might actually find this film a bit upsetting.
