The case itself is very extreme and shocking, and the processing of the film is much lighter and softer, and the second half of the film is slightly less powerful. Depressed women, ignorant children, teenage girls with early pregnancy, and the occlusion of rural towns in the United States in the last century constituted this human tragedy. ps. The female protagonist's biological parents have no words. It's really a series of stupid X can have children. I want to watch "Fruit Hard Candy" all over the place.

Adapted from a true event, it tells the story of a girl played by Ellen Page who was fostered in the home of a single mother by her parents who went out to work and then abused to death. The brutality and cruelty shown in the film are simply a nightmare. Although child abuse incidents have been staged in China, but after the media reports, they have gradually faded out of people's field of vision. I really hope that this kind of film can be produced in China and attract the attention of the society, especially some authorities.
