TIL: THE POKER HOUSE

Based on a true story by writer/ director Lori Petty, 'The Poker House' is set in a poor, small town in Iowa, circa 1976. This is a day-in-the life, coming-of-age story about a young Ms. Petty played by stunning newcomer, Jennifer Lawrence. She shares her life with her two little sisters, (Sophia Bairley and Chloe Grace Moretz) and their drug-addicted, abused mother (Selma Blair) living in, and with the power of a child's heart, surviving,'The Poker House'.

THIS MOVIE IS EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER WANTED IN A FILM IT'S RAWNESS WILL DEFINITELY TAKE YOU BY SURPRISE AND PART OF IT IS BECAUSE IT IS BASED ON TRUE EVENT'S I CAN NOW SAY I AM TRULY IN LOVE WITH THIS FILM AND IT IS DEFINITELY A MUST SEE AND ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T HAD THE PLEASURE OF READING THE BOOK YET, I AM BETTING THAT IT IS A MASTERPIECE AS WELL. LORRI PETTY GET'S SOME SERIOUS PROPS FOR THIS ONE ESPECIALLY AS SHE IS THE WRITER AND DIRECTER OF THIS BRILLIANT STORY.WHO KNEW THAT TANK GIRLHAD SUCH A STORY TO TELL.
