In the realm of independent cinema, stories of resilience and familial bonds often shine brightest. 'All We Had,' directed by Katie Holmes (who also stars), is one such gem. This film perfectly embodies its title, showcasing a mother and daughter navigating poverty and instability, relying on 'all we had' – each other.

The movie beautifully portrays the struggles of single motherhood and the challenges of making ends meet. We witness Rita (Holmes) and Ruthie (Stefania LaVie Owen) moving from town to town, searching for a better life. Their bond is tested by financial hardship, but ultimately strengthened by their unwavering love and determination.

'All We Had' reminds us that sometimes, 'all we had' is enough. It's a poignant exploration of the power of family, the importance of hope, and the remarkable ability of the human spirit to endure even the toughest circumstances. It's a must-watch for those who appreciate heartfelt stories with genuine characters and relatable struggles.
