But side from it being a good "film", sadly, it's also very real. We are both former police officers and were foster parents until we adopted twins this year. Living in the US doesn't mean it doesn't happen here. We saw the same kind of story way too often while on the force and with fostering. It brought back some bad memories.
Follow Ups:
friend who has been on the police force in a medium-sized town for a little over a year. He responded two days ago to a domestic violence call. He saw the woman in severe distress inside the house and, as he forced the front door, the husband blew her away with three shotgun blasts.
Nothing to do with the movie but... yeah, Lilya is intense. Good for you fostering and adopting, I'm a former child protective services worker and I remember cops saying "Y'all go into these houses to remove kids without a gun? Ya'll're crazy!" (Sav'h. speak).
