Kevin Costner superbly plays Elliott Anderson a grieving widow who raised his biracial granddaughter Eloise (Jillian Estell) since birth. Eloise steals the show as she is a charmer. Elliott's daughter died in childbirth and Eloise's father has a history of drug abuse and is a deadbeat, to put it mildly. The child's paternal grandmother Rowena (Octavia Spencer) has decided Eloise needs to be with her black family's roots and proceeds to attempt custody. This is a heart tugging adorable film that supports the path of forgiveness with needs of others foremost versus self interests. We both adored this film.
