Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
This veered too close to trauma corn for me, not to mention the ending practically tripping over itself. This could've been a lot more meaningful if it had been a solid discussion about generational trauma, and about the struggles of dealing with personal trauma, but no. Just read The Room instead.
