I did not expect this movie to be as good as it is. I loved all of of the characters, except the mom and the little sister. It does a great job of showing someone going to great lengths to make something they care about really work, not for themselves, but for someone else.

What Parents Need to Know
About Pieces of April
Parents need to know that this movie has some strong language, some off-screen violence, medicinal marijuana and some brief but graphic nudity. Emotionally, this could be tough since it involves troubled parent/child relationships and the finality of death.
