It's makes so much sense to distrust offoritis when you are an abusied child. Like the first thing I did when I meet my new grandfather was kick his leg. I was under the age of 3 and I thought that I was having to move agian and life with him.

We stan representation of shitty parents cause it needs to be talked about more cause some families are just shitty and theres nothing you can do about it

Honestly I love the Willoughbys so much and it’s so much under appreciated

[@ucjaromanczyk5623]

I completely agree I love the book and the movie! Especially me and my older sister and have the same problem with our family! Now she getting free from them but I can't because of my disability and not oriented in entrepreneurship and society. That brings me so blue. But that kind of thing cheers me up😊😀 I also love The Series of Unfortunately Events. My sister Mary read this whole series and we watched together movie based on first three books many times. These days I discovered Netflix series about it and I really like it. Apart from that I watched some Burton movies but most of it makes me afraid.

I always gravitate to the darker type of movies and characters. My favorite CareBear is Grumpy bear. I loved this movie. I kinda wish they explained how they survived being babies.

Fun fact that no one asked for: this is actually how a lot of kids view CPS, especially if they grew up hearing horror stories about them or if their parents taught them as such. I’m not saying that the Willoughbys thought this, because I didn’t see any of that upbringing in the film, but I liked the touch.

Parents: the social services are terrible and they want to take you away and put you in horrible foster homes, and they’ll do it for just about anything. You can’t tell them anything about our lives or they’ll take you away and give you to people who won’t love you The kid, about to internalise that mentality and get damaged™️:

[@camocat2038]

@@SqualorOpera The split apart part was what scared me most. I had never had reliable adults, but even though they had also been horrible I was far more attached to my siblings and couldn't imagine being in a unfamiliar (even if slightly better) situation without them. Even with a good foster family, an at the time undiagnosed AuDHD kid with PTSD who is also Non-Binary in a red state would not have been ideal.

Holy Crap! I don't know why it took me until re-watching your review to realize that the kids don't seem to go to school!! Because they know nothing about the outside world, I very much doubt that their parents homeschooled them so this is actually a plot hole. Who taught them how to read? Who taught them anything?! I've watched this movie like 10 times and I've only just realized this!

[@not_kermit3737]

Self-taught, maybe? A different Nanny, if the parents went on a trip before this one?

[@gemstone108]

I think we’re made to assume the kids kinda figured everything out on their own, considering they have such a vast library of books!

[@mariaocean2165]

When people think of neglectful parents, they often think an single mom (sometimes an couple) living in poverty (sometimes an addict), having CPS forcefully take away the kids due to being too poor. The truth is both poor and rich parent(s) have their kid(s) taken away due to neglect/abuse. The truth is outside the USA, most 1st world countries have social safely nets so parent(s) who are poor can raise their kid(s) with love and care that they deserve. (I'm Not from USA) my 1st cousin who lives 2 hours away in the city, became an single dad at 21 to an 10 month old, because his girlfriend/baby mama loved drugs more then her baby girl. He never when to collage, works in retail. He could only afford daycare due to our government support program, because baby mama refused to pay child support ever. His daughter is the apple of his eye. She's 8 years old now (her mom died years ago from OD, she doesn't remember her), an sweet well adjusted child with lots of friends and good grades.

I liked this movie. I wish it had a more positive reception.

[@solveigst-juste6276]

I loved the movie but had the wonderful/s. idea to watch it with my bio parents during one of the family visits when I was in foster care, not a mood.

[@carolinaazevedo2088]

I really loved this movie

[@maxwellmarques1607]

2:48 And the entire length of their lives.

[@alexmcgilvery3878]

Thanks for convincing me to watch this movie. I almost gave up on it. My anxiety manifests in strange ways with movies and books. I'm glad I didn't.

[@mynoflambago9779]

Sir, you have great taste

[@fishfish7985]

Aw yeah it was the best film

[@lahlybird895]

Okay I'm curious though when they were all split up what were the families they ended up in like

[@coradagenheart7955]

[SPOILERS] but if you're really curious, the twins ended up with a family that has a lot of electronics and they were on the internet 24/7 jane was is sort of like hippie music family and and tim didn't even get to his bc he jumped out of a car before they got home
