The Brighton has a traumatic drama in the breast of their family: the twenty-year-old Emily Brighton is intellectually disabled due to a fall when she was one, and her overprotective mother Martha Brighton blames her negligence for the accident. The seventeen-year-old Evie Brighton loves her sister and reads poems and stories for Emily. Their father Harry Brighton, a bank investor, lives in the basement with his models of trains and railroads. Evie mysteriously sabotages her interviews for different universities being rejected, and teaches the poetries of her own to Emily. When Martha hears Emily repeating the poems, she takes notes and shows them to the English teacher Stewart Worthy, who believes that Emily has had a moment of genius. When Evie's only friend James reads the notes, he immediately discloses the truth about the author of the poetries. But when Martha becomes aware, she finds the reality of Evie, triggering a series of revelations.

| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergA simple little story of sisterly devotion. |
| User ReviewLaurie DThis movie is a bit of a downer but sends a powerful message about finding your own path, especially if your immediate family has failed to appreciate your essence. |
| User ReviewHogans HGreat story telling film, with a unexpected twist at the end. Ambrose does a wonderful job, so does Amy Madigan. This could have easily been trite..but this seemed like a great collborative effort. |
| User ReviewDaniel PIt starts off a little unsure of itself but gradually grows in confidence. This has a similar story but is superior to, and pre-dates, "Proof". There's a neat twist towards the end which actually enhances the story (rather than make you go, "hang on?", like lots of other movies do). A stellar performance from Lauren Ambrose, and Fran Kranz is also good. A very good way to spend 84 mins of your time. If you get the DVD, whatever you do, don't watch the trailer first, as it practically gives away every revelation. |
| User ReviewPragnya ALauren Ambrose brings to life a very tender story about growing up in a dysfunctional family. She's done a fabulous job and her character is beautiful to watch. |
| User ReviewEric LI only watched it for the awesome Lauren Ambrose... You can put her in every situation this actress is always gold, even if the screenplay is poor (like in Admissions) |
| User ReviewMary SWhat could be a moving and heartwarming movie is so ponderous and without an iota of tension to up the stakes and make us care. |
