It truly hit a nerve — especially if you have a sister — and you couldn't help but feel a tremendous amount of sympathy for her character, Ruth. I don't know about you, but I can name 19 moments when all I wanted to do was hug Sandra Bullock.

1. When Ruth gets out of jail and goes to her new "home."

That place was terrible. 

2. When someone tries to steal her stuff almost immediately.

3. When Ruth's probation officer tells her that her sister is better off without her.

Why was her probation officer so mean?

4. When an employer changes their mind about giving her a job.

This guy was also really rude. 

5. When Ruth walks back to her old house and has flashbacks.

I knew something was up, but wasn't entirely sure.

6. When Blake buys her a coat.

Granted, she did almost knock his head off in the process. 

7. When John Ingram decides that he will try to help Ruth.

This was one of the very little silver linings in the movie. 

8. When Katherine's parents refuse to let Ruth see her.

If only they knew the whole story. 

9. When Ruth angrily breaks the dry wall in a fit of rage.

I mean, can you blame her? 

10. When Katherine's sister reads Ruth's letters.

Blake sucks majorly for this.

Start stacking the awards, please.
