But her mother appeared to be in a position to help her if necessary. Made no sense.

What could the mother have done?

The mother appeared financially comfortable, so helped with money when things were dire?

I did not see anything indicating the mother was financially comfortable.

She appeared to live in a normal middle-class home.

***SPOILER ALERT *** Don't read this post if you don't want spoilers.




Well, I'm not sure, but if my granddaughter passed away, and the next day my daughter was acting as if she was still alive I'd at the very least go to her and take her to the hospital (if she'd agree). Or I'd stay with her, or try to convince her to come to my house. I wouldn't just leave her to go about her day in this unstable mental state. The mother was at the hospital with her when it happened so I assume they live close/in the same town.

Yeah, I noticed this. Couldn't they have moved in with her to ease the extreme poverty they faced?

This was a good watch. I didn't think I would enjoy it but I did.

I thought it was a fantastic movie that really made you feel the character's struggles, and that twist! I gasped though yes, in hindsight there were clues. Taraji P Henson is a fantastic actress, always, but she was especially great in this.

I was so confused at the end that I had to look up what happened. What were the clues?

The way the school lady waves at her confused she is there. The backpack and meds discarded on the curb and not with the child.

Also, when she was at the school to bring the lunch money and she was arguing with the cps workers in the hallway, the principal stood there just watching but never said a word, because those cps workers weren’t really there. Principle just stood there with a concerned look, watching her.

Then who called her at work, when she said it was the school?

At the bank, after talking to her mother and understanding that her daughter is dead, it triggers her suppressed memories, which we see as quick flashback scenes. We see that when the principal saw Janiyah at school, she looked confused, indicating that Janiyah was alone. And the phone call wasn’t from the school, it was a bill collector calling about past-due bills. That's why when she shows up at the school and argues with the social workers, the principal is just standing there looking at her, sort of in disbelief. There were no social workers there.
