To Write Love on Her Arms

This story is about the real life struggle of Renee Yohe, whose story inspired the charity To Write Love on Her Arms. The problem with this movie is that it never actually tells us the story of Renee Yohe. We get maybe fifteen minutes of brief flashes of her past life, but no real idea how she struggled or what she went through. We never even hear her tell any of her life story to the man who eventually founded the charity, so there is really no way to know why this woman's story is inspiring at all. It all felt much like a Lifetime movie, except not even as deep as many Lifetime movies can be. I was disappointed by this - it could have been so much more. 2.5/5
