8/10. The acting was fantastic from all four. I thought Nancy was a bit annoying, but played accurately by Bello. (I've known people similar to her.) Patric was the actor that stood out to me, though there wasn't nearly enough known about his character. Amy Brenneman did very well with what she was given to do...which was not much, really. I'm not even completely sure why she was in the movie. She played Nancy's patient therapist, but their interactions didn't seem to affect anything else in the story.

My only real problem with it was that the camera didn't stay freaking still! I had the same qualm with Rachel Getting Married. It doesn't add any realism, it just adds to my annoyance. The look of the movie otherwise was interesting. It was all very blue.


Has anyone else seen it?

A movie that is easy to admire but harder to like. It's well made and powerfully acted, especially by Bello and Patric. But it's such a downer. It's one really fucked up a movie. Viewing it once is probably enough. The cinematography is also quite gorgeous.

7/10
