    Another fabulous movie by the hot protagonist of the movie.
    (i just know that she's Jean from X-Men)
    The movie conveys how things arent always fair when in a really f*ucked up marriage that turns into a divorce. She portrays how many families become isolated from each other suc...( read more)h as her and her son. Sometimes extreme measures are taken and that's what she does. The ending was magnificent because it was realistic and not like those 'happily ever after' movies.
    I give it a 3 thumbs up
    lol

    Great movie but it could've ended better.

    Good movie except for the ending... seems like they just said "Wrap it up, we've got 5 minutes". Could have been better.

    Great movie and storyline, but the ending was sad.

    An incredibly slow drama that has a good point where right is meant to be right regardless of the hard times people face, in relationships where the children are held as pawns in their insecurities..See this if you want a drama the surrounds you in afterthoughts of all kinds....

    Famke Janssen was great in this film. As was Rip Torn. I was intrigued by all the characters and how they came about to be in the situations they were in. Unfortunately, the ending, for me, did not play up to the rest of the film.
