When single mother Sandra, full of unwavering energy, is evicted from her apartment by the Dutch government due to fraud, she convinces her daughters Harrie and Stella that their emergency shelter is a holiday hotel. Taking care of her children while being the main breadwinner seems impossible, but Sandra won't go down without a fight: with heroism and creativity, she gives her daughters the best summer of their lives.
As this critic continues to look back at some of this Summer's films I have taken in, I would be remiss if I didn't mention one of the most overall unsettling trends in Hollywood over the last several years.....sequels, reboots, and remakes. Look, I am all for seeing more than one film for certain originals that made a splash, ie: "Jurassic Park", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Transformers", etc.
Every movement becomes a question of identity. To become who we are meant to be. In order to reach that we often have to shed who we once were, and that shedding can sometimes be so brutal it’s ungraceful.
