One of the most underrated performances of Patricia Arquette's career. Looking back, I didn't realize it was Reese Witherspoon in the role of one of the kids next door. Growing up poor in the countryside is one thing, but it's tougher for someone handicapped. Hard to watch this clip (and the film) without thinking of my mother. Hardship, tears and joy. There aren't a lot of actors who can do what Arquette did in this story. Similar to what Zhang Ziyang did in The Road Home.
