Having just gone through a year of much death and loss, it was hard for me to watch this film. The struggles of Leon reminded me of many troubled friends I used to know and family I used to be closer to. It reminded me that growing up without real support can be devastating. And when I say real support, I mean someone who loves you unconditionally and makes an effort to understand your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Everyone deserves to feel some kind of security in a world that is so full of difference and often so painfully confusing.
