Peter Hedges is now one of my favorite filmmakers after writing only 2 features and directing one movie. I don't go in for the sentimental garbage. I hate Forrest Gump, You've Got Mail, Stepmom or any movie that tries to warm my heart and makes me swallow some syrupy crap. Those films are shit because they manipulate you.
Pieces of April doesn't manipulate, it merely tells a story so true that it could be anyone from a real downtown punk to a Mid-Western housewife with five kids and a mortgage.
