Film.com's FREE movie of the week is "Love the Hard Way." Oscar-winner Adrien Brody and Charlotte Ayanna star in this drama about a thief who falls for a curious, beautiful young woman. As their intimacy grows, a slick cop (Pam Greer) is closing in.
Three separate stories, three stages of a woman's life. A five-year-old girl sells tissues on the street at night, while her begger father and mother argue. A teenage girl finds escape from her unhappy family life by borrowing strangers ID cards and briefly occupying their lives. Finally a middle-aged woman visits her dying mother while contemplating her own readiness to become a parent.
