A surprisingly heartfelt and intense drama that is a little too heavy handed, but nevertheless is effective at getting you involved in the characters and their predicaments. The cast is uniformly good, which is a surprise to me more than anything else. Much has been said about the ending, which I don't want to spoil (although it is telegraphed quite extensively), but I will say that it didn't bother me much at all. I think people are fussing over it a little too much. Some won't be able to like the movie just because of it, but if you like well done melodrama with a hint of darkness, this is a solid choice well worth 2 hours.
