9/10
Intelligent, thoughtful portrait of a personal and family unraveling

Warning: Spoilers
Reading the earlier reviews I am struck by what seems to be the lack of understanding as to what this film is really about. The main plot involving the nightmarish result of a divorce is both a good example and a horrible warning of what happens when people feel they have nothing left to lose. We have seen how violence infects the divorce process with horrendous results. The issue we have to address is how do we make this painful process less about winners and losers and find a more even handed approach to helping families in transition. Every member of the family law bar should see this film; because we are also part of the problem. The performances were remarkable esp. the wife and the story troubling and well crafted.
