although a bit dated (film made in '86)..the movie depicts very clearly what it is like to be an active alcoholic, and what that does to a person's family. We see the legal problems, the work problems, the family problems that are caused because of someone's drinking. <br /> <br />Also shown is the co-dependency of several family members, as they make excuses for and cover-up the father's behavior. We see the verbal and physical abuse they have to endure. <br /> <br />I found it very difficult to watchhad to hit pause and come back later and watch more of the film, a segment here, a segment there. It's a very sad film, but an accurate one. You should buy this for your recovery library. <br /> <br />Martin Sheen's performance is just great here.
Viewer Reviews This is a great movies about a father that drinks to much alcohol, and how his drinking affected his family. It shows the importance of recovery from alcoholism.
