Marissa, I find your comment “Sadie may have actually needed medical help for her addiction sooner. Eventually, Georgia does do the right thing and is there for her sister at the rehab center” interesting. I’m not sure I can agree with the part where Georgia eventually does “the right thing.” Georgia and her family may have been trying to get Sadie to enter facilities for years. The importance lies in Sadie being willing and ready to be admitted into rehab. Her desperation during the scene at the airport had nothing to do with Georgia. The airport scene stands for Sadie, and Sadie alone. It is Sadie who must confront her addiction, it is Sadie who must beg for shoes from a room full of strangers to be let on the plan, and it is Sadie who must stay at the rehab facility until she is well. What I find troublesome in your comment I mentioned above is that it implies criticism on Georgia’s actions, as if Georgia decides to finally help her sister out. I believe the focus should not be placed on Georgia as a sister, but Sadie as someone ready to leave drug addiction and alcoholism behind.
