This film was incredibly inspirational in the fact that it
depicted a young girl with an intellectual disability, and yet managed to
portray her abilities and strengths in ways one would never think possible.
Although she has a mild to moderate functioning intellectual disability, you
may never even know by the astonishing abilities she reveals. Her competence
and determination allow her to tackle any barriers that stand in her way and
prevent her from reaching her goals. This film also depicts the lack of support
her family demonstrates towards her, specifically (the title singles her out
just because of her disability and they see her “differently” than the other
daughters in the family). It’s important to look past an individual’s disabilities
and see them as a person, because that is who they are. They have strengths and
weaknesses just as anyone else would. I highly recommend this movie to anyone,
mainly because we could all stand to learn a thing or two from Carla.
