Georgia Rule

We learn that veterinarian Simon lost his wife and son in a motor vehicle accident. (0:26)

Teen Rachel tells Simon, "I was 12 years old when my stepfather first started having sex with me." (0:31)

Rachel tells her mother, Lilly, of sexual abuse by her stepfather, Arnold. (0:52)

Lilly tells Simon, "I need Antabuse." (1:13)

Lilly appears to drink alcoholicly through much of the film and often appears intoxicated. There is almost constant conflict between her and her mother Georgia. Georgia tells Lilly that her own parents never told her they loved her. Georgia, with her rules for almost everything, seems rigid, at least on the surface.
