Review of Justine

Sort of a liberal film for not very liberal Americans. Lisa is a single mum with two mixed race kids who is unqualified (didn't finish college) and unemployed, and she ends up taking a caring job for a young girl (the eponymous Justine) who has spina bifida - as well as horrible affluent entitled parents. They're very controlling, and they belittle Lisa while absolutely relying on her to care for their child, and the dad is privately racist...but Lisa is deserving - she's single because her husband was a marine killed on active service, and she's nice and kind to her chidren and to Justine. There's a redemption at the end, but no-one and nothing has really changed. Watchable but not very satisfying.

Watched on Netflix.
