Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: She gathers the courage to fly to a new life and takes her mother with her.
Con: Flies where? There’s no air if you go very high. Obviously there’s supposed to be a symbolic meaning, but is there any more to it than just women throwing off the restrictions of the church?
